ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय
Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
"I bow to Lord Vasudeva, the Supreme Being."
In Hindu mythology, the concept of the "Dasha Avatars" refers to the ten principal incarnations of Lord Vishnu, who descends in various forms to restore dharma and cosmic balance.
According to Maharishi Parāśara, in the Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra, nine of these Avatars are associated with specific planetary influences, each reflecting divine qualities and functions as following:
1. Lord Rama: Sun
2. Lord Krishna: Moon (The Moon is also associated with Rohini, which is the birth Nakshatra of Lord Krishna).
3. Lord Narasimha: Mars
4. Lord Buddha: Mercury (Buddha is described as teaching non-violence)
5. Lord Vamana: Jupiter (Vamana is described as a pygmy avatar who asked King Bali for three steps of land and lord Vamana measured the universe in two steps, therefore, Bali had to offer his head for placing the third step)
6. Lord Parashurama: Venus
7. Lord Koorma (Tortoise): Saturn
8. Lord Varaha (Pig): Rahu
9. Lord Matsya (Fish): Ketu
Kalki is identified as the tenth avatara (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu, yet to manifest in the Kaliyuga to destroy evil and restore righteousness. Kalki is depicted riding a white horse named Devadatta, often wielding a flaming sword.
Maharishi Parashar further distinguished between "Poorna Parmatmansha Avatars" and "Jeevams Samanvit Avatars" as follows:
1. Poorna Parmatmansha Avatars
Avatars with complete essence of the Supreme Being.
| Rama | Sun | Dharma, Kingship, Solar leadership |
| Krishna | Moon | Devotion, Love, Compassion |
| Narasimha | Mars | Protection, Righteous Anger |
| Varaha | Rahu | Cosmic Restoration,transformative power |
When these planets are strong, well-placed and aspected in a birth chart, they bestow Prabhuta (eminence, authority, leadership, divine purpose).
2. Jeevams Samanvit Avatars
Avatars blended with the soul of a Jiva (individual being).
| Vamana | Mercury | Wisdom, Diplomacy |
| Parashurama | Venus | Devotion, Conflict |
| Buddha | Jupiter | Enlightenment, Ethics |
| Kurma | Saturn | Endurance, Duty |
| Matsya Ketu | Liberation, spirituality |
When these planets are strongly placed, they bless the native with deep wisdom, discipline and spiritual power.
