Mani,
Seeing this verse, small doubt has come...Whether avatars preceded vedas or viceversa..as this vedic verse refers to thrivikrama avataram...

Here is Rg Veda 1.22.17:

idam vishNur vicakrame tredhA nidadhe padam 
samUDham asya pAmsure

Translation:

Vishnu has stridden here. He has placed three sanctified
steps on this earth.

[...] a reference to Trivikrama's
three steps, which is the most celebrated story of Vishnu found
in the Vedas.
