 The main purpose of this avatar was to protect the Vedas (karma marham poojaa, abhishekam, yagynam, yahan, homam) which were dwindling away from the then India (Bharatha desam).Vedas are and continue to remain to define Bharatha desam from which the present day India has taken its shape, co-existing along with many other religious beliefs.Kumārila Bhaṭṭa left Nalanda after that and settled down in Prayag (modern day Allahabad).
