Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 3, Ch. 13]
Lord because of His assuming the form of a boar in order to lift the earth. That is the clear understanding of sages and great personalities like Brahmā and other residents of the higher planetary systems.

TRANSLATION
O Lord, Your form is worshipable by performances of sacrifice, but souls who are simply miscreants are unable to see it. All the Vedic hymns, Gāyatrī and others, are there in the touch of Your skin. In Your bodily hairs is the kuśa grass, in Your eyes is the clarified butter, and in Your four legs are the four kinds of fruitive activities.
PURPORT
There is a class of miscreants who are known in the words of  Bhagavad-gītā  as  Veda-vādī , or so-called strict followers of the  Vedas . They do not believe in the incarnation of the Lord, what to speak of the Lord's incarnation as the worshipable hog. They describe worship of the different forms or incarnations of the Lord as anthropomorphism. In the estimation of  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  these men are miscreants, and in  Bhagavad-gītā  (7.15) they are called not only miscreants but also fools and the lowest of mankind, and it is said that their knowledge has been plundered by illusion due
