half-human lion. Thereafter he took on fully human forms, as a dwarf named
Vamana, a militant Brahmin named Parashurama, a warrior-prince named Rama,

arrived to set an example of ethical living or to get the world out of a jam
. That certainly was true of the Buddha, who is frequently identified as
avatar No. 9.")
