[sri ramanuja] Ten avatArs mentioed in Periya Thirumozhi.8.8.10

[Guest guest]

shri:

 

Dear shriman Senthil swamin

 

(Adiyane's)This Dog's Pranaams.

 

I do noted this paasuram Periya thirumozhi 8.8.10 which

explicitly gathers 10 avatars.

 

if you goto Page 229 of Bhagavad Gita (Ch 4.8)- English

Edition by ISKCON Group (Late) Shri Prabhupada swaamin

says there are 6 groups of avatars, and each group has

more than a bunch of avatars to specify.

 

Let us see what Thenamaam polil Swamin Says !!!
