The Buddha who is considered as an avathara of Sriman
Narayana is NOT THE SAME AS the historical Buddha. In
the Vishnu Purana, there is the description of the
Buddha Avathara which was taken to teach a 'wrong
doctrine' to the wives of the asuras. It is this
Buddha that is referred to as an incarnation in texts.
The historical Buddha who preached Buddhism is not an
avathara.

For those who have heard Annmacharyas Sankirtana
"Dolayam"  ....there is reference to 'Daaruna
Buddha'...
and by this the puranic Buddha is being identified.In
other sankirtanas, he mentions of Vishnu having
"incarnated to teach the wives of the asuras"...and
again he is referring to the 'Purainc' Buddha.

The doctrine preached by the historical Buddha is
undoubtedly antivedic....called as 'Sunyavada' and has
been elaborately rejected in the Sree Bhashya.

Please correct me if i am wrong.
