Every incarnation of bhagavAn, irrespective of whether it is a boar or a turtle, or kRshNa or rAma, is a pUrNAvatAram, if this term means that He has shAD-guNya paripUrNatvam (full of His six guNa-s). Otherwise, we have to get into a definition of what is meant by paripUrNattvam. svAmi deSikan has covered this subject under the topic of the "six avatAra rahasya-s", in his SaraNAgati dIpikA stotram - Slokam 17 (nAnAvidhaiH...). Depending on which one of the incarnations is praised at a given time, a kavi or an AcArya (of any faith) will praise this avatAram as the best. This does not mean that other incarnations are inferior. This is a lakshNam of poetry, the name for which I have forgotten at this moment. Any discussion that one incarnation is "paripUrNam" and another is not, is not consistent with my understanding of our sampradAyam. -dAsan kRshNamAcAryan ------------------------ Yahoo!
