Guest guest Posted January 3, 1996 Report Share Posted January 3, 1996 -But, Buddha is considered, even by Sri -Vaishnavaas, as an avathaaram, albeit, one in which the -Lord preached lies to the asuraas. This is not a -very broad minded acceptance of Buddha, but consistent -with our view of Buddism. I am not sure how the north -Indians accept Buddha as one of the avatharams without -prejudice to the vEdhaas. In exactly the same way as the southerners do; there is no difference at all. The Buddha is said to have preached un-vedic and therefore untruthful things to sow confusion and bring about the downfall of the bad ones. -Among the south Indian 10, I am more puzzled with -Parasu Raamar than some of the others. Is the concept of -implicit obedience to father the main contribution of this -avatharam? Was he an avaathaaram only until his -encounter with Sri Raamar? This must be so as he was -unable to defeat Bheeshmar later. Would that not make -him less than the other avathaarams? What is the story of his encounter with Bhishmar ? I haven't heard of it.
