Prsnigarbha (, IAST: ) is a name of the Hindu deity Vishnu. According to the Bhagavata Purana, it is the name accorded to one of the avatars of Vishnu. The name is a Sanskrit compound word consisting of the terms pṛśni and garbha, literally meaning, "Pṛśni's embryo".

==Birth== The Prajapati Sutapa and his wife Pṛśni worshipped Vishnu with such devotion that he himself appeared before them for granting a boon. In their enthusiasm, they asked thrice, "We need a son equivalent to you". Vishnu told them that he himself would be born as their son in three different janmas (births). He instructed the importance of the practice of brahmacharya to the world.
