("These forms or incarnations are referred to as avatars. The usual number
given is 10, listed chronologically, as if in evolutionary order. He first
materialized as a giant fish, then as a tortoise, then a wild boar, then
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,
and a blue-skinned cowherd-playboy named Krishna. In each case the avatar
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.")
