The 80th Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
***************************************
Dasa-roopavathE Nama:

One who has taken the ten forms from that of a Fish to Kalki BhagavAn  (Future avathAram) .

AzhwArs and AchAryAs have extolled the Ten avathArams of the Lord in many paasurams and slOkams . The salutation by Jaya Deva Kavi is beautiful to recall here:

VedAnuddharathE JagannivahathE BhUgOlamudhBibrathE
dhaithyam dhArayathE Balim chalayathE Kshathra-kshayam kurvathE
Poulasthyam jayathE halam kalayathE kAruNyamAtanvathE
mlEcchAn  moorchayathE DASAAKRUTHI KRUTHE  KrishNAya Thubhyam Nama:

--Gita Govindham : 1.16

(Meaning): " For upholding the VedAs (as Matsya) , for supporting the earth ( as Tortoise) , for raising the world (as VarahA) , for tearing  the demon asunder (as Narasimhan ), for cheating Bali (as Vaamanan),
for destroying the warrior ( as ParasurAma) , for conquering RaavaNa (as Raama), for wielding the plow (as Bala Raaman), for spreading compassion (as KrishNa) , For routing the barbarians (as Kalki), Homage to You , KrishNa , in Your ten incarnate forms".
