In the understanding of the role of Avatars, the easiest, and the
sweetest means was revealed by Krishna Avatar to the largest extent. This does
not mean that other Avatars are irrelevant. Each Avatar is appropriate for the
time of its advent. This may be illustrated by a small example: When there is a
petty quarrel in the street, a policeman's intervention is enough. When there
is riotous crowds, a Police Inspector may be necessary to deal with it. In an
insurgency, the Inspector-General of Police will have to take charge of the
situation.
