Once Vishnu, incarnated as a wild boar, destroyed demons. But, having destroyed them, he did not want to return to heaven and wanted to live the life of a boar. He wanted to have children and be happy with them.
The gods thought: “What happened to God that he doesn’t come back?” They went to Shiva and asked him to convince Vishnu to return to heaven. Shiva went to Vishnu and began to persuade him, but the god Vishnu was busy with his little boars and did not pay any attention to him. Then Shiva pierced the body of the boar with his trident and freed Vishnu from the power of self-deception. Coming out of the body of the boar, Vishnu laughed at everything that happened to him and returned to his heavenly abode. Such is the power of Maya!
