Avatar was the first Avatar of Lord Vishnu, among the Dashavatara of
Mahavishnu. Matsya means fish in Sanskrit and Matsya Avatar is the

destroyed by a great flood. Lord Vishnu saved humanity and the Vedas from the

MATSYA is a Sanskrit word which means fish, as a fish cleans
the pond so the Matsya Yantra (Which is the form of Sri Bhagavan Matsya
Narayana) will clean up all Vastu defects of the Home/Shop/Office/Factory., and
brings the financial developments of the Place in which it is Kept, hence it is
called Sarva Vastu Dosha Nivaraka Matsya Yantra. At the end of the first epoch (Satya Yuga), when the world
was destroyed by a great flood Matsya Avatar was taken by Lord Vishnu to save
humanity and the Vedas from the great deluge.
Story of Matsya Avatar:
Legend has it that the king of pre-ancient Dravida called Satyavrata, later
known as Manu, was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu. One day, when he was
washing his hands in a river, a little fish swam into his hands. It pleaded him
to save its life. The king put it in a jar and it soon outgrew. The fish was
then moved to a tank, a river and then to the ocean. Lord Vishnu, who was in
the disguise of the fish, told him that a flood would occur within seven days
that would destroy all life.
Matsya asked Satyavrata to collect herbs, seeds and animals, to assemble all
the seven rishis (Saptarishis) and wait. He advised to build a giant boat and
fill it up with all the flora and fauna on the earth and that Lord Vishnu would
meet him again at a selected time. The boat was towed by the Lord himself and
tied to a horn he had manifested on his head. The huge flood occurred as
expected and it destroyed the planet. However Manu and his wife and the samples
of every species were safe. The havoc stopped after a few years and the boat
was then towed to a land. It is said that the king and his queen started a new
life using the samples of various species. They created a new life on earth.
According to Bhagavada Purana, the above story has some additions. It says that
a demon named Hayagriva stole the Vedas from Lord
Brahma while he was asleep and hid deep inside the ocean. In order
to protect the world, Lord Vishnu incarnated as Matsya to save the world before
its destruction. In the karnatakas only
Sri Matsya Narayana Devastana specially worshipped Matsya Yantras are given for
the benefit of the devotees.
