In Hinduism, Avatar or Avatāra
(Skt: अवतार, [Bur:
{a.wa.ta-ra.}] for "descent" [viz., from heaven to earth]) refers to a deliberate
descent of a deity from heaven to earth, and is mostly translated into English
as "incarnation",
but more accurately as "appearance" or "manifestation".[1]
--
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar 100115
Edited from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Da%C5%9B%C4%81vat%C4%81ra 100114
Daśāvatāra refers to the ten principal avatars. In Vaishnava philosophy, an avatar (Skt: अवतार, avatāra), most commonly refers to the 'descent' and daśa refers to 'ten' in number. The ten most famous incarnations of Vishnu or sometimes Krishna are collectively known as the Dashavatara. This list is included in the Garuda Purana (1.86.10-11) and denotes those avatars most prominent in terms of their influence on human society.
The majority of avatars in this list of ten are categorised as 'lila-avatars'. The first four are said to have appeared in the Satya Yuga (the first of the four Yugas or ages in the time cycle described within Hinduism). The next three avatars appeared in the Treta Yuga, the eighth incarnation in the Dwapara Yuga and the ninth in the Kali Yuga. The tenth is predicted to appear at the end of the Kali Yuga in some 427,000 years time.[1] Also according to the Vishnu Purana the Kali-yuga will end with the apparition of Kalki-avatara, who will defeat the wicked, liberate the virtuous, and initiate a new Satya Yuga.[2]
Adoption of
Buddha as one of the
avatars of
Vishnu under
Bhagavatism believed to be a catalyzing factor in assimilation of
relationships during
Gupta period 330-550
C.E. Thus
Mahayana Buddhism is sometimes called Buddha-Bhagavatism.
[3]
It is by this period that it is commonly accepted among academics that the
concept of avatars of
Vishnu [
{bi.þa.no:nût}] was
fully developed.[4]
UKT notes:
• Early Pagan (107–849 A.D.) period extending from King Thamudarit (reign: 107-152 A.D.) to Hkelu (reign: 829-846 A.D.) [dates of Early Pagan are unattested] and Pagan (849–1287 A.D.) period extending from King Pyinbya (reign: 846-878 or 874–906) to Narathihapate (reign: 1254-1287) cover the Gupta period in India with which there were strong cultural links because of overland routes. Of course, there was the city of Tagaung in the north founded before the Gautama Buddha's period by King Abiraza, and so we must conclude that cultural links had been very strong indeed. - UKT 110424 based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Burmese_monarchs 110424
• As a Buddhist born in Myanmar, I belonged to the Theravada{hté-ra.wa-da.} school of Buddhism which rejects the notions of a Supreme God and an indestructible Soul as baseless hypotheses. The Pali used in Myanmar, the Pal-Myan (Pali-Myanmar, written in Myanmar script) define Vishnu
Pal: Kaṇhā - adj. black, dark, evil ; m. Viṣṇu, the evil one; n. sin . - UPMT-PED064
Pal: {ka-Nha.}- UHS-PMD0283
The meanings given in Pali-Myan clearly show an animosity between Buddhism (Theravada) and Hinduism (including Mahayana)? The reason, I believe to be is because the repressive caste system condoned by Hinduism-Brahmanism . Read:
¤ Ban Sanskrit in Buddhism - ban-sanskrit.htm

Note: Up to today the above four are in the same folder with "Ban Sanskrit in Buddhism". I hope to make a comparative study of Early Buddhism, Bhagavagita, Vishnuism and Mahayana if and when the time comes. -- UKT 100414. The above hyperlinks are found not working on 110425.
The evolution of historical Vishnuism produced what is now a complex system of Vaishnavism, which is often viewed as a synthesis of the worship of Vishnu, Narayana, Vasudeva and Krishna which is archived by the time of Bhagavad Gita (c. 4 BCE to 3 century CE).[5]
Twelve Alvars, saints who spread the sect to the common people with their devotional hymns. Early alvars did not distinguish or listed the avataras of Vishnu, nor did they distinguished Krishna to be an avatara. Their poems in praise of Vishnu and Krishna in Tamil language are collectively known as Naalayira (Divya Prabandha).[6][7]
Life originated in water in unicellular form to start with. This was followed by aquatic life forms, and subsequently Amphibians (i.e. creatures who could live equally well in water as well as on land) came into existence. Homo Sapiens evolved during a very later stage of evolution. Scientists have postulated various theories about this evolution. Darwin, Mendel & others postulated various theories on this subject.
British geneticist and evolutionary biologist, J B S Haldane, observed that the Dasavataras are a true sequential depiction of the great unfolding of evolution. The first few avatars of Vishnu show an uncanny similarity to the biological theory of evolution of life on earth.[16]
01. Matsya,
the fish, appeared
in the
Satya Yuga.
First avatar is a
fish, one which is
creature living in water.
If we compare it with biological evolution on different Geological
Time Scale first developed life was also in the form of fish which originated
during Cambrian
period.
02. Kurma,
the tortoise,
appeared in the
Satya Yuga.
Second avatar was in the form of Tortoise (reptiles).
In geology also first reptiles comes as second important evolution
which originated in
Mississippian period just after
Amphibians.
03. Varaha,
the
boar, appeared in the
Satya Yuga.
Third avatar was in the form of Boar.
Evolution of the amphibean to the land animal.
04.
Narasimha, the
half-man/half-lion appeared in the
Satya Yuga.
The Man-Lion (Nara = man, simha = lion) was the fourth avatar.
But in geology no such evidences are mentioned. It may have been
related with Ape Man The term may sometimes refer to extinct early human
ancestors, such as the undiscovered missing link between apes and humans.
05. Vamana,
the dwarf, appeared in the
Treta Yuga.
Fifth Avatar is the dwarf man.
It may be related with the first man originated during
Pliocene.
It may be related with
Neanderthals. Neanderthals were generally only 12 to 14 cm (4½–5½ in)
shorter than modern humans, contrary to a common view of them as "very short" or
"just over 5 feet".
06.
Parashurama, Rama with the axe, appeared in the
Treta Yuga.
The man with an axe was the sixth avatar.
It has the similarities with the first modern man originated during
Quaternary
[geologic]
period or the man of Iron age.
UKT: The four avatars of Vishnu that are of importance for chronological reasons to a Bur-Myan Buddhist are probably:
06. Parashurama, sage with the axe who killed the thousand-armed king Kartavirya Arjuna
07. Rama, the king of Ayodhya and the hero of the Hindu epic Ramayana
08. Krishna, the king of Dwarka, a central character in the Bhagavata Purana and the Mahabharata and reciter of Bhagavad Gita. However, in the original Dasavatara stotra, Balarama, the elder brother of Krishna, is stated as the eight incarnation, while Krishna (Lord Kesava) is the source of all the incarnation.[19]
09. Gautama Buddha
Lord Rama, Lord Krishna and Lord Buddha were the seventh, eighth and ninth
other avatars of Lord Vishnu. It indicates the physical and mental changes and
evolution in the man from its time of appearance.
Note: Balarama is considered as one of the Dasavatar in South
Indian traditions, and Buddha is not considered as part of the list.
[8]
[9]
In some lists
Balarama, the elder brother of Krishna, takes the place of Gautama Buddha as
the ninth avatar of Vishnu. According to the
Bhagavata Purana Balarama is said to have appeared in the
Dwapara Yuga (along with Krishna) as an incarnation of
Ananta Shesha.
He is also counted as an avatar of Vishnu by the majority of
Vaishnava movements. Such lists contain no mention of Buddha.
Kalki
("Eternity", or "time", or "The Destroyer of foulness"), who is expected to
appear at the end of
Kali Yuga,
the time period in which we currently live. The tenth and the last avatar of
Vishnu, Kalki, is yet to appear. Kalki will appear at the end of the Kalyuga.
This avatar will appear seated on a white horse with a drawn sword blazing like
a comet. He shall come finally to destroy the wicked, to restart the new
creation and to restore the purity of conduct in people's lives.

Sita
or Seeta (Skt: सीता
"Sītā"; "furrow" / Khmer: នាង សីដា? Neang Sida /
Malay: Siti Dewi / Indonesian: Dewi Sinta / Thai: นางสีดา Nang
Sida / Lao: ນກະງ ສກະນດກະ Nang Sanda / Burmese-Myanmar:
{þi-ta dé-wi} Thida Dewi / Tagalog: Putri Gandingan / Maranao:
Tuwan Potre Malaila Tihaia) is the wife of Rama, the seventh avatāra of
Vishnu in the Hindu tradition. Sita is one of the principal characters in the
Ramayana, a Hindu epic named after her husband Lord Rama. Goddess Sita was
born in Sitamarhi (Punaura) in Bihar (India) and soon after her birth, taken to
Janakpur in present day Nepal by her father, King Janak. She is esteemed as the
standard setter for wifely and womanly virtues for all Hindu women. Understood
theologically in Hinduism, Sita is an avatāra of Lakshmi.
UKT: The majority of the Myanmar population being Buddhists, just take
{þi-ta}/{thi-ta} leaving the {dé-wi} which literally means "goddess" out. However, I personally know a few who worship them as Nats in the Burmese-Myanmar tradition and offer them a puja every year. -- UKT 100308
Sita was a foundling, discovered in a furrow in a ploughed field, and for that reason is regarded as a daughter of Bhudevi, the Goddess Mother Earth. She was found and adopted by Janaka, hence she was also called Janki, king of Mithila in present day Nepal and his wife Sunayana. Since she was the princess of Mithila, she was (and is also) known as Maithili. Upon her coming of age, a swayamwara was held to select a suitable husband for her, and she was wed to Rama, prince of Ayodhya, an avatara of Vishnu.
