dwarf-brahmana (Vamanadeva) and visited the arena of

into plunderers. SB.(Canto1, Ch.3,Text 25)

Translation
All of the above-mentioned incarnations are either plenary portions or portions of
the plenary portions of the Lord, but Lord Sri Krsna is the original
Personality of Godhead. All of them appear on planets whenever there is a
disturbance created by the atheists. The Lord incarnates to protect the
theists.
