Adiyen's information is  1. With regard to Parasurama, the Avathar was to transfer his power at the fag end of his career,  to Sri Rama who was being groomed as a great warrior by all  including Viswamitra (knowing  well the divine incarnation of Sri Rama) for the role he had to play in his manifestation as Sri Rama. 2. As regards Balarama, he is the twin aspect of Krishna like Lakshmana the twin aspect of Sri Rama. In his pasuram 'NinrAl MaravadiyAm', the Azhwar describes Adisesha as 'Enrum PunaiyAm', ever a link or bond and this aspect of Adiseshan is represented by Lakshmana and Balarama. There is the famous Dasavatharan Sannidhi in Srirangam (maintained by Sri Ahobila Muth), said to have been built by Tirumangai Azhwar and whose idol worshipping the ten divine manifestations of Lord Vishnu there is even now bestowing grace on whosoever visits the shrine. The Dasavathara idols  are  exquiste figures and one should visit that Sannidhi to get the thrill. Dasan Devanathan

>dear bhagavathas, wewhad a beautiful article on dasavathara from the coordinator.many acharyas have extolled on the dasavathara.iIhave had some doubts for a long time. can parasurama and balarama be considered as avathara.avathar means the LordNarayana descends to this earth in some form to detroy evil and protect good.why the two forms are neccessary at the same time-balarama and krishnaor rama and parsurama.?Parasurama can be considered as an amsam of the lord.why did he continue to exist on the ptithvi after his intent was completed-he continued during the period of rama and krishna. why was it neccessary to pick a quarrel with srirama-one avathara quarreling with anothe avathara.4.only sathva gune is present in the Lord even during his avatharas.this is not so with parasurama and balarama.5.there are no big temples for either.6 i remember that only seven avatharas are seen as sculpted works in the front of the Govindaraja sannadi,7perhaps inclusion of hayagriva and hamsa may be more apt in the dasavatharas.i may be excused for and irreverent remark.dasan narayanan. sri Narayana Desikaya namah.
