Do I understand it right that the Hindu Divine was incarnated in two different forms so that one form could kill the other one?
Pranam.
Namaste,
Yes,correct.The divine in Hinduism can incarnate in any number of forms and some can't be understood by applying logic.
This incident you mention is found in the Vedas as well as in some other Shastras.The instruction given there is that this narrative must not be discussed with all people.Receivers of this must meet certain eligibility criteria otherwise some persons may misunderstand it.It seems you have too.There is a scriptural injunction against discussing it but if you are sincerely interested to know,I'll give you the references in scriptures.In case you have any doubts,kindly pm me.
