Parasu-Rama Avataram

From the Bhakti List Archives

This couldn't have been the purpose. The Dwarapalakas were born thrice and
were slain thrice by Narayana:

1. Hiranyaaksha, Hiranyakasipu   (Varaha, Narasimha)
2. Ravana, Kumbakarna            (Rama)
3. Sisupala, Dantavakra          (Krsna)
   Kamsa wasn't one, to my knowledge.
