Though Balarama may be an avatar of Lord Vishnu, as per some scriptures, this avatar is certainly not counted as one of the ten avatars constituting the Dasha (ten) avatars. The list in this template has 11 avatars. Balarama needs to be removed from this list. Comments? Hari 08:06, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

There are many Gods in Hinduism that incarnate themselves as humans one stage in their lives not just Vishnu. Lakshmi came as Sita Devi and Sesha came as Lakshman. DaGizza Chat (c) 08:49, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reference

Is there a reference to substantiate the assertion that Hindu scripture considers Buddha to be an Avatar of Vishnu? Addhoc 17:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Remove buddha from this Template

It is not balarama "The Buddha" has to be removed from this template. On what basis Buddha is included in this template? Now the number of avatars is 11 according to this template and how can you still call it dasvathar. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shijualex (talk • contribs) 06:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC).

I suggest one of the first two.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 13:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
