In the Puranas Vyasa spends most of his time either talking about events that happened recently or events that happened in the beginning of the Kalpa or Mahakalpa. He doesn't spend that much time talking about events that happened between the Swayambhuva Manvantara and the Vaivasvata Manvantara, although the churning of the ocean and Gajendra Moksha are two exceptions. | |

So there seems to be some kind of story associated with this avatara. The verses just doesn't seems to be symbolic. | |
