* Vishnu took the VarAha avathAram -Boar- to destroy Demon HiranyAkshA and to redeem Mother Earth. Then, the raging Boar became uncontrollably wild. It was conquered by Murugan who gave the horn of the boar as a souvenir to Lord SivA - VarAha PurANam.

** In KUrmAvathAram, Vishnu came as a tortoise to support Mount Manthara for churning the milky ocean. After Vishnu took the form of Mohini to distribute Amirtham -Divine Nectar-, Hariharaputhran -Ayyappan- was born. The tortoise became so conceited that it created a havoc in the universe. Upon SivA's command, Ayyappan defeated the wild tortoise and presented its shell as a souvenir to SivA for display on His chest - KUrma PurANam.

+ When the entire universe faced extinction during PraLayA, SivA performed Sarva SamhAram - total destruction. However, He kindly took the bones and skeletons of DEvAs and wore them on His chest - Kandha PurANam.
