This story connects the
|| Satyuga || Bhakt Prahladh ,
||TretaYuga || #Ramayan and
||DwaparYuga || the #Mahabharat in an amazing way.
It is of the story of Jaya and Vijaya.

RT and spread the knowledge.

Jaya & Vijaya R the two gatekeepers of the abode of Vishnu. According to the #Bhagavata Purana, the 4Kumaras Sanaka, Sanandana,Sanatana,& Sanatkumara, who R manasaputras of Brahma,decide to pay a visit to #Vishnu. The Sanat Kumaras approach Jaya &Vijaya ask to be let in.

Jaya & Vijaya tell the Kumaras that Sri #Vishnu is resting & that they cannot see him now. The enraged Kumaras cursed both of them that they would have to give up their divinity, be born as mortals on Earth and live like normal human beings.

When #Vishnu wakes up, he learns what has happened and is sorry for his two gatekeepers, who are cursed by the great Sanat Kumaras just for doing their duty. #Vishnu promises to his doorkeepers that he will do his best to help them go through the cycle of Life and Death.

#Vishnu cannot lift the curse of the Sanat Kumaras directly, but he puts in front of them two options:

The 1ST option is that they could either be born 7 times on Earth as devotees of Vishnu, while the 2ND option is that they could be born 3 times as His enemy.
After serving either of these sentences, they can re-attain their stature at Vaikuntha and be with Him permanently.

Jaya-Vijaya cannot bear the thought of staying away from #Vishnu for 7 lives, even as his devotees. As a result, they choose to be born 3 times on Earth even though it would have to be as enemies of #Vishnu.

In the 1st birth as enemy to #Vishnu, Jaya & Vijaya born as Hiranyaksha & Hiraeyakasipu in #SatyaYuga.

He was slain by the god Vishnu after he (Hiranyaksha) took the Earth to the bottom of what has been described as the "Cosmic Ocean".

Vishnu assumed the Avatar of a boar (Varaha Avatar) and dove into the ocean to lift the Earth, in the process slaying Hiranyaksha who was obstructing Him.

The battle lasted 1000 years. He had an elder brother named Hiranyakashipu, who after having undertaken penances which made him incredibly powerful and invincible unless several conditions were met, was later slain by the lion-headed #Narasimha, another avatar of #Vishnu.

In the next #TretaYuga, Jaya and Vijaya were born as Ravana and Kumbhakarna, and were killed by Lord Vishnu in His form as #Ram.

At the end of the #DwaparaYuga,

Jaya and Vijaya were born their third birth as Sisupala and Dantavakra and
#Vishnu appeared as #Krishna and again killed them.

So as they move from one life to another, they move more and more closer to God ... (Asuras being the worst, then rakshasa, then humans and then devas) finally going back to Vaikuntha.
