The 11th cent. Buddhist KAlacakra tantra (2nd pa.tala, vv. 6-9)

employs the names of the ten avatAras of Vi.s.nu to designate ten

phases of human life, from conception to death. I would be grateful

for any references to comparable usage in other Indic sources, or for

expert judgement that this usage is unique to the KAlacakra. (I

apologize if my diacritics don't conform to list standards; I'm new

to the list.)
