Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya nama: Dear Soundar, As per AcArya Hrdayam,Buddha is one avatAram. I can't quote the sutra off-handedly like Sri Padmanabhan. I can refer and tell you tomorrow. Balarama is not an avatAram for us(among the 10),if I'm right! Even in Srimad bhAgavatham,buddha is mentioned as one among the ten incarnations. I don't know what remarks Sri Jayadeva passed.

Is the Buddha referred by JayadeEvA the same as "Adhi Buddha" or does Jayadeva glorify Gautama Buddha himself??
