Prabhanjanacharya

 

AmshAvatara is a unique work of Narayanapanditacharya. In ninety two

shlokas, it deals with the important characters of Ramayana & Mahabharatha.

The characters in these two epics are the manifestations of various gods &

demons. Narayanapanditacharya has given a list of who is who (with the

exception of the Lord). He has based his work on Acharya Madhva's

Mahabharata tatparya Nirnaya, Harivamsa, Padma purana etc.... The list of

various gods & demons are in sanskrit alphabetical order.

 

AmshAvatara helps in understanding the Mahabharatha & Ramayana & gives an

insight into the various characters & their behavior.

 

AMSHA means fraction; AMSHI is the whole containing fraction.

The Lord takes two types of forms. He Himself manifest by directly

descending known as SAAKSHAAD roopas & in some case only His presence is

experienced at times, which is otherwise known as AVESHA roopa. The direct

forms of the Lord are in no way inferior to His original form known as the

MOOLA roopa
