However, Vishnu eventually overshadowed Indra and shot into prominence as the God of gods. According to some scholars, the identification of Vishnu with Vasudeva-Krishna, the deified Yadava hero, contributed significantly to the rise of Vishnu as the greatest of the gods in the hierarchy of the Hindu pantheon. In fact Vasudeva-Krishna came to be considered the eighth avtar of Vishnu. Vishnu is more a love inspiring that a fear inspiring deity. The Bhagvata Purana, from which these tales are adapted, abounds in narratives of the benevolent acts of Vishnu. Although he is kind and sympathetic, he is never taken in by the apparent devotion of evil men. Even when they success in wresting favours from other gods, Vishnu manoeuvres to bring about their destruction without falsifying the boons given to them by the gods.
