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.
