It is in connection with Vishnu, especially, that the idea of incarnation becomes prominent. IT IS IN CONNECTION WITH WISSHNU ESPECIALLY THAT THE IDEA OF INCARNATION BECOMES PROMINENT
s--Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva. Something like an anticipation of this has been presented in the later Vedic times: fire, air, and the sun (Agni, Vayu, and Surya) being regarded by the commentator[24] as summing up the divine energies. But in the Vedas the deities often go in pairs; and little stress should be laid on the idea of a Vedic triad. That idea, however, came prominently forward in later days. The worship both of Vishnu and Siva may have existed, from ancient times, as popular rites not acknowledged by the Brahmans; but both of these deities were now fully recognized. The god Brahma was an invention of the Brahmans; he was no real divinity of the people, and had hardly ever been actually worshiped. It is visual to designate Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva as Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer respectively; but the generalization is by no means well maintained in the Hindu books. [Sidenote: The Avatara.] The Puranas are in general violently sectarian; some being Vishnuite, others Sivite.  IT GIVES TO THE TRIMOUTHI OR TRADE OF GODS BRAHMAR VISHNU AND SIVA SOMETHING LIKE AN ANTICIPATION OF THIS HAS BEEN PRESENTED IN THE LATER WORTHY TIMES FIRE ALE AND THE SUN AGNE WYOU AND SOUVIA BEING REGARDED BY THE COMMENTATOR AS SUMMING UP THE DIVINE ENERGIES BUT IN THE WE THAS THE DEITIES OFTEN GO IN PAYS AND LITTLE STRESS SHOULD BE LAID ON THE IDEA OF AVAILING TRADE THE IDEA HOWEVER CAME PROMINENTLY FORWARD IN LATER DAYS THE WORSHIP BOTH OF WISHNU AND SCHIBA MAY HAVE EXISTED FROM ANCIENT TIMES AS POPULAR RITES NOT ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE BRAHMANS BUT BOTH OF THESE DETIES WERE NOW FULLY RECOGNIZED THE GOD BRAHMA WAS AN INVENTION OF THE BRAHMINS HE WAS NO REAL DIVINITY OF THE PEOPLE AND HAD HARDLY EVER BEEN ACTUALLY WORSHIPPED IT IS VISUAL TO DESIGNATE BRAHMMA VISHNU AND SHE WERE AS CREATOR RESERVER AND DESTROYER RESPECTUALLY BUT THE GENERALIZATION IS BY NO MEANS WELL MAINTAINED IN THE HINDU BOOKS THE PURANAS ARE IN GENERAL VIOLENTLY SECTAVIAN SOME BEING WISSHNU WHITE AND OTHERS SI WHITE
