Vishnu as Thrivikrama, Varahar cave, Mahabalipuram. Southern end shows a bas relief of Trivikrama, Vishnu in Vamana incarnation. Vishnu is shown with one leg placed firmly on the ground and another lifted up to the level of his neck. This posture suggests that he has taken his two steps already and in that he has measured the earth and the heaven. It is said that up to the knee of Trivikrama is bhu-loka, above it up to naval is antariksha-loka, and above it up to forehead is swarga-loka. He is shown with eight hands. In left hands he carries Shankha (conch), Khetaka (shield) and dhanush (bow), while one left hand is pointing to the direction of his lifted leg. In his right hands he carries chakra (discus), gada (club) and khadga (sword) while his one right hand is raised up with palms turned up. He is shown wearing a yajnopavita and kirita-mukuta. On top right and left are shown Brahma and Shiva respectively.
