hi,

I have a question about alwars and the dasaaavataarams .

Most of the paasurams that I am familiar with are not about(or do not mention)

any

particular avataaram. However , many of Aandaal's paasurams are about krishna

..Periyaazhvaar , in his periyaazhvaar thirumozhi has a lot of paasurams about

krishna (eg : poochoottal and kaappidal ). I know of a few paasurams in which

raamavataaram is there. What about others? Nothing comes to mind immediately. I

do not know all the 4000 paasurams. Am I finding this because I am familiar

with the paasurams of only some aazhwars? It would definitely be interesting

to find out if there are some avataarams that are mentioned more often than

others and if it is the case speculate on why. Right now, I think that

krishnaavataaram is likely to be the one mentioned most. I would like to know

your opinions about this.

 

One factor would be that aazhvaars sang about the 108 divyadesams. So, any

avataaram with no temple with the presiding deity being the avataara purushan

will have no songs? I am not sure here. Are there temples for machcha, koorma,

vAmana,

balarama avataarams? On the same note, we have a sannadhi for varaaha in

tirupati. Varaaha is said to be the elder brother of Vekateshwara.
