(5) Yet Others

Identification of Shaalgraam
His Dashaavataar are - (1) Matsya, (Fish), (2) Koorm (Tortoise), (3) Varaah (Boar), (4) Narasinh (Man-Lion), (5) Vaaaman (Dwarg), (6) Prashuraam (the Angry Man), (7) Raam (the Perfect Human Being of Raamaayan), (8) Krishn (Divine Diplomat and Statesman), (9) Balaraam, and (10) Kalki.
In His common form Vishnu is depicted with four arms carrying Shankh (Conch), Chakra (Disc), Gadaa (Mace) and Padm (Lotus Flower).

Lord of Truth - Out of His navel blossoms a lotus flower, so He is known as Padmnaabham. This flower is the seat of Brahmaa, the god of Creation and the embodiment of Rajo Gun. He makes Shesh serpent bed as the embodiment of Tamo Gun and the vices of darkness, and rests on him. That is why Vishnu is the embodiment of Sato Gun and the God of Truth.

Presiding Deity of Peace - Vishnu is often depicted reclining form on Shesh Naag, a many-headed serpent, coiled, floating on Cosmic waters that represents the peaceful Universe. This pose symbolizes the calmness and the patience in the face of fear and worries which the poisonous serpent represents.

Garud, The Vehicle - The vehicle of Vishnu is Garud, the eagle. Empowered with courage and speed to spread the knowledge of Ved, Garud is the assurance of fearlessness at the time of calamity. And the consort of Vishnu is Lakshmee - the goddess of wealth and beauty.

As Vishnu has many forms and all forms are worshipped equally give His blessings, in the same way ancient sources do not make any difference in Shaalgraam stones. Different Puraan in ancient days divide Shaalgraam in 24 varieties (Skand Puraan, Naagar Khand. 244. 3-9).
