******* Since Buddha is recent historic figure, it should be easy to point to

(a) just who were the "bad

ones" and (b) how was their "downfall" implemented. .... unless, the Buddha

who is considered an

avatara is not the same as Gautama, the Buddha.

-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.
