Change "In Madhvacharya Vaishnava theology, the supreme Vishnu and the Selfs of living beings are two different realities and nature (dualism), while in Ramanuja's Sri Vaishnavism, they are different but share the same essential nature (qualified non-dualism)" to "In Madhvacharya Vaishnava theology, the supreme Vishnu and the Selfs of living beings are two different realities and nature (dualism), while in Sri Vaishnavism, they are different but share the same essential nature (qualified non-dualism)". Sri Vaishnavism is technically founded by Nathamuni who predates Ramanuja, and it would also be strange to say "Nathamuni's Sri Vaishnavism". Deadavenger0 (talk) 08:37, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can add this given information in Avatars section

The Bhagavata Purana describes Vishnu's avatars as innumerable, though ten of his incarnations, the Dashavatara, are celebrated therein as his major appearances.[1][2] The ten major Vishnu avatars are mentioned in the Agni Purana, the Garuda Purana and the Bhagavata Purana.[3][4]

Matsya - The fish avatar. He saves Manu and the seven sages from the cosmic flood, and in some traditions, saves the Vedas from an asura called Hayagriva.
Kurma - The tortoise/turtle avatar. He supports the mountain named Mandara while the devas and the asuras churn the ocean in order to obtain Amrita, the nectar of immortality.
Varaha - The boar avatar. He rescues Bhumi, the goddess of the earth, when the asura Hiranyaksha abducts her, restoring her rightful place in the universe.
Narasimha - The lion avatar. He saves his devotee Prahlada and frees the three worlds from the tyranny of an asura named Hiranyakashipu.
Vamana - The dwarf avatar. He vanquishes the asura king Mahabali to the netherworld after taking three strides upon the universe, restoring the rule of Indra.
Parashurama - The warrior-sage avatar. He destroys the oppressive kings of the military class and creates a new social order.
Rama - The prince avatar. He rescues his wife Sita when she is abducted by the rakshasa king Ravana, restoring just rule to the world.
Krishna - The King avatar. He re-establish righteousness in the world by giving Gita to world . He slays Kamsa, the tyrant of Mathura and his uncle, and participates in the Kurukshetra War as the charioteer of Arjuna.
Buddha - The historical incarnation to delude the asuras from the path of the Vedas, ensuring the victory of the devas.
Kalki - The prophesied avatar. He incarnates to bring an end to the present age of corruption called the Kali Yuga, re-establishing the four classes and law to the world.



The Bhagavata Purana also goes on to give an alternate list, wherein it numerically lists out 23 Vishnu avatars in chapter 1.3.[5]

  1. Four Kumaras (Catuḥsana): the four sons of Brahma who exemplify the path of devotion.
  2. Varaha: The boar avatar. He rescues Bhumi, the goddess of the earth, when the asura Hiranyaksha abducts her, restoring her rightful place in the universe.[6]
  3. Narada: the divine-sage who travels the worlds as a devotee of Vishnu.
  4. Nara-Narayana: the twin-sages.
  5. Kapila: a renowned sage spoken of in the Mahabharata, son of Kardama and Devahuti. He is sometimes identified with the founder of the Samkhya school of philosophy.
  6. Dattatreya: the combined avatar of the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
  7. Yajna: the embodiment of sacrifices.
  8. Rishabha: the father of emperor Bharata.
  9. Prithu: the sovereign-king who milked the earth as a cow to obtain the world's grain and vegetation.
  10. Matsya: The fish avatar. He saves Manu and the seven sages from the cosmic flood, and in some traditions, saves the Vedas from an asura called Hayagriva.[7]
  11. Kurma: The tortoise/turtle avatar. He supports the mountain named Mandara while the devas and the asuras churn the ocean of milk to produce the nectar of immortality.[8]
  12. Dhanvantari: the father of Ayurvedic medicine and a physician to the devas.
  13. Mohini: the enchantress who beguiles the asuras into offering her the elixir of eternal life.
  14. Narasimha: The lion avatar. He saves his devotee Prahlada and frees the three worlds from the tyranny of an asura named Hiranyakashipu.[9]
  15. Vamana: The dwarf avatar. He vanquishes the asura king Mahabali to the netherworld after taking three strides upon the universe, restoring the rule of Indra.[10]
  16. Parashurama: The warrior-sage avatar. He destroys the oppressive kings of the military class and creates a new social order.[11]
  17. Rama: The prince avatar. He rescues his wife Sita when she is abducted by the rakshasa king Ravana, restoring just rule to the world.[12]
  18. Vyasa: the compiler of the Vedas and writer of the scriptures (Puranas) and the epic Mahabharata.
  19. Krishna: The eighth avatar of Vishnu who incarnates to re-establish righteousness in the world. He slays Kamsa, the tyrant of Mathura and his uncle, and participates in the Kurukshetra War as the charioteer of Arjuna.[13]
  20. Gautama Buddha: The historical Buddha, who incarnates to delude the asuras from the path of the Vedas, ensuring the victory of the devas. In some traditions, he is referred to as an avatar of Vishnu.[14]
  21. Kalki: The prophesied tenth avatar of Vishnu. He incarnates to bring an end to the present age of corruption called the Kali Yuga, re-establishing the four classes and law to the world.[15]

Avatars like Hayagriva, Hamsa, and Garuda are also mentioned in the Pancharatra, making a total of forty-six avatars.[16] However, despite these lists, the commonly accepted number of ten avatars for Vishnu was fixed well before the 10th century CE.[3] Madhvacharya also regards Gautama Buddha as an avatar of Vishnu.[17]

 Not done: Please create a reply or a new edit request rather than editing your original comment; it is too confusing otherwise. Most of this still completely lacks sourcing and is not formatted. Note that the article has an existing list of the avatars of Vishnu: I would suggest proposing small changes to that rather than trying to create your own list.

[edit]

In the Purans section under Avatars, there is a table in that there is a column titled Names / Descriptions (with chapters and verses) – Dashavatar list. In the row corresponding to Agni, an error appears: Buddha. Sugata refers to the historical Buddha, who is the founder of Buddhism, and he is not considered an avatar of Lord Vishnu. The Buddha recognized as an avatar of Lord Vishnu is distinct from the founder of Buddhism and is worshiped within Hinduism, not within Buddhism. Therefore, the entry should be corrected to Buddha i.e from Sugata to Gautama Buddha in Hinduism. Anushree Patil (talk) 09:47, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I am not sure you are correct about who Sugata refers to, but I will change the link target to The Buddha in Hinduism, which provides a fuller account of Hindu views of the Buddha as an avatar of Vishnu and whether or not this avatar is the same entity as Gautama Buddha.

The same mistake appears in the Dashavatar section under Avatars. Anushree Patil (talk) 05:37, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request to mention Purusha and Vishwakarma Suktas in "Vedas" section

[edit]

I request to add information about the Purusha Sukta and Vishwakarma Sukta to the "Vedas" section. These are essential for understanding how the attributes of the Vedic creator deities were assimilated into Vishnu (Narayana).

Change: Just 5 out of 1028 hymns of the Rigveda are dedicated to Vishnu, although he is mentioned in other hymns.

To: Just 5 out of 1028 hymns of the Rigveda are dedicated to Vishnu, although he is mentioned in other hymns. But, the Purusha Sukta says that gods like Indra, Agni etc were born from the Purusha.

चन्द्रमा मनसो जातश्चक्षोः सूर्यो अजायत । मुखादिन्द्रश्चाग्निश्च प्राणाद्वायुरजायत ॥ [18]

- 'Chandra (The Moon) was born from His mind; Surya (The Sun) was born from His eyes. Indra and Agni came from His mouth; from His vital energy Vayu was born.'

Shrutis like the Mudgala Upanishad which explain the Purusha Sukta say that this Purusha is none other than Vishnu.

ॐ पुरुषसूक्तार्थनिर्णयं व्याख्यास्यामः पुरुषसंहितायां पुरुषसूक्तार्थः संग्रहेण प्रोच्यते । सहस्रशीर्षेत्यत्र सशब्दोऽनन्तवाचकः । अनन्तयोजनं प्राह दशाङ्गुलवचस्तथा ॥ तस्य प्रथमया विष्णोर्देशतो व्याप्तिरीरिता । द्वितीयया चास्य विष्णोः कालतो व्याप्तिरुच्यते ॥(Mudgala Upanishad)[19]

- 'We will now explain the decisive meaning of the Purusha Sukta. In the Purusha Samhita, the meaning is stated briefly: The word 'thousand' here means 'infinite'. The 'ten fingers' (dashangula) phrase indicates infinite distance/scope. The first verse describes Vishnu's omnipresence regarding Space. The second verse describes Vishnu's omnipresence regarding Time.'

Hence the Purusha Sukta speaks of Vishnu. In fact the concept of the three quarters of the Purusha being the three spiritual worlds and the creation being just one quarter described in the Purusha Sukta, appears only in the Vaishnava school as the concept of Tripad Vibhuti and Ekapada Vibhuti.

The Vishwakarma Sukta of the Rig Veda is another hymn which describes an unborn upon whose navel the universe is established. This clearly matches with the iconography of the cosmic lotus growing out of Vishnu's navel as the lotus is described as the cosmic egg of modified form as described in the Puranas.
