I had the pleasure of interaction with our friends on the Sri Matsya Narayana avatara through two blogs posted earlier this year. It is now possible to add another sequel to those blogs, because I have just learnt about an enduring Nepali tradition of the worship of Sri Matsya Narayana.

Prologue:
The very large span in seven of the eight aishvaryas (as different from corresponding siddhis which men attain through sadhana) that Bhagavan possesses is indicated in sloka 90 of the Sri Vishnu Sahasranama, along with its significance to the cosmic creation play. Bhagavan is of course Vishnu and Vyapaka, a great spanner of extremes. This sloka has 12 names in it, numbering 839 to 850.
839. Bhagavan is anu: the very first, very minute singularity that was created by his srshtisankalpa. (animaa)
840. He is brhat, huge, the vast expanse of all his creation. (mahimaa)
