The cow secretes milk for the sustenance of the calf; the calf is its chief beneficiary. But, as we see, others too benefit from this milk. So too, though the devotees are the primary cause and their sustenance is the prime purpose; other incidental benefits such as fostering of righteousness, suppression of evil and the wicked also happen in the mission of an Avatar. God is above and beyond all the limits of time and space, and no list of characteristics and qualities can describe Him completely. The place and the Form of the Avatar are chosen such that they promote the purpose of fulfilling the yearning of the devotees.
-Bhagavatha Vahini, "Chap "The Bhagavatha".
