Sri Nappinnai,
In addition to Sri Lakshmi Narasimhan's wonderful quote from PeriyAzhwAr 
Thirumozhi, let me add Sri Vanamamalai Padmanabhan's quotation of Thirumangai 
AzhwAr in one of the sister fora (oppiliappan):

Begin quote >>

The ten avathArA-s have been precisely spelt out by sri kaliyan in his periya 
thiru mozhi

".mEnodu Amai kEzhal ari kuRaLAi, munnum irAmanAi, thAnAi, pinnum irAmanAi, 
dhAmodharanAi kaRkiyum AnAn thannai.." periya thiru mozhi 8-8-10

mEnOdu=matsyam; Amai==kUrmam;
kEzhal=varAham; ari=narasimham;
kuRaL=vAmanam; munnum irAman=parasu rAman
thAnAi=chakravarthith thirumagan;pinnum irAmanAi=bala rAman
dhAmOdharan=krishNan;=kaRki-kalki.

Another reference to sri bala rAmar
nAchiyAr thiru mozhi 

"patti mEindhOr kAr yEAru pala dhEvaRku Or kEzh kanRAi.." nAchiyAr thiru mozhi 
14-1.

Lord krishNA behaved in a obedient manner towards His elder brother sri bala 
rAmar.


>> end quote.

As per Buddha,

According to Sri Tridandi Jeeyar Swamy's discourses on the same subject that 
while there was indeed a BuddhAvatharan who came to mislead the asurans with 
false teachings, this Buddha was not the same Buddha as Siddhartha. So, the 
Buddha of Buddhism is not an avAtharan of Vishnu. SriVaishnavam is strongly 
opposed to many of Buddhism's views, and its achAryans have very clear and 
logical reasons for this opposition.

Even the Buddha who is mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatham, is Adhi Buddha not 
Gautama Buddha (his birth and life details don't match with what is given in 
Srimad BhAgavatham). Gautama Buddha spread a religion that was totally 
anti-vedic. Adhi Buddha was a "minor" (if you will) incarnation who seduced the 
wives of some TripurasUrAs etc.. I donno the details. Unfortunately there is a 
total misconception on the identities of these two identities. 

Also, the AzhwArs who had described about Sriman NArAyanA more than even the 
upanishads (in more details) have not glorified him anywhere, rather attacked 
his philosophy.

Dasan,
Kidambi Soundararajan.
