In the center square, Kiena is shown in His original twa-handed form, holding a fute. Surrounding Him are ten of His eternal incarnations, pictured in the order in which They
appear in the material world. Beginning from the upper left-hand corner and moving counterclockwise, They are: 1. Matsya, the fish incarnation, who saved the Vedas; 2. Kūrma, the tortoise incarnation, who held Mount Mandara on His back; 3. Varāha, the boar incarnation, who saved the earth from the water of devastation; 4. Nṛsiṁhadeva, the man-lion incarnation, who killed the tyrant Hiraṇyakaśipu; 5. Vāmana, the dwarf incarnation, who covered the universe with two steps; 6. Paraśurāma, the warrior incarnation, who killed all the demoniac kings on the earth twenty-one times; 7. Rāmacandra, the Lord's incarnation as the ideal monarch, with His wife, Sītā, who accompanied Him during His exile to the forest; 8. Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Balarāma, His primary expansion, who enjoyed pastimes together as brothers in Vṛndāvana; 9. Buddha, the incarnation of the Lord whose mission was to stop animal slaughter through his
teaching of ahimsa, or nonviolence; and 10. Kalki, the incarnation of the Lord who will appear in 427,000 years to herald the change of
universal time.
