Mahabharata Adiparva Adivansavataranaparva section 64-65
Sri Sadgurubhyoh namah
Sri Sadgurubhyoh namah
Parasurama, son of Jamadagni, annihilated all kshatriyas by conquering earth 21 times and retired to Mahendragiri mountain. As there are no more kshatriya men left, the ladies of kshatriya clan visited Sages, rishis, and brahmanas to beget children. This was done not out of lust but only during the season. Thus the kshatriyas are restored, and the offspring ruled the earth virtuously. Justice prevailed again in Kruta yuga.
The Asuras (demons) having been repeatedly defeated in war by the Suras (Gods), unable to obtain heaven, began to take birth on earth in human form, kine, asses, buffaloes, horses etc. They became powerful and started to oppress dharma of all the four varnas and disturbed the peace. Mother earth (Bhudevi) is unable to bear the burden of the evil people and prays to the creator Brahma.
Brahmaji orders all the gods to incarnate on earth according to their respective parts in kine, buffaloes, asses, horses, and humans. Indra goes and requests Lord of all, Supreme God, SriHari to incarnate on earth to lessen the burden on earth. Hari says "Let it be".
My commentary :
Gita : Yada yada hi dharmasya glaanirbhavati bharata
abhyuttaanamadharmasya tadaatmanam srujaamyaham
In this incarnation, SriHari as SriKrishna has said the above words in Gita, meaning "Whenever dharma declines, and evil multiplies, I will incarnate to establish Dharma again"
