Ten Avatars of Vishnu
Narrates Krishna to Arjuna :
Whenever Dharma, or the situation of law and order, is endangered on this world, I
incarnate onto this world to re establish Dharma, law and order, and to protect the Sadhus
or saints and to detroy the evil elements of the society.
Throughout ages, Lord Vishnu, has incarnated in various life forms through different yugas

Vishnu. These incarnations are termed as the avatars of Lord Vishnu. Each avatar of Lord
