Veda-s first or Incarnations first?

SrI namaaran:

Thanks for the clarification.  I had indeed mininterpreted your question.  I think the more learned members should comment, but I will stop with just this one response.  It is my understanding that the veda-s are all knowing, and therefore they know the past, the present, and the future.  The veda-s are God.  The incarnations are many in number, and He takes the incarnations as and when necessary  (dharma samsthApanArthAya sambhavAmi yuge yuge).  But this does not in any way preclude that the veda-s cannot talk about the incarnations prior to their happening.  This is my limited understanding.

Dear Shri Narasimhan,
I think that you have got my doubt wrongly. I did not ask (Vishnu or 
Veda first). I asked whether AVATARS preceded Vedas or Vedas preceded 
AVATARs. 
If we say that VEDAS preceded, then how come thrivikrama avatar is 
referred in Rigveda.
This is my doubt..
Kindly clarify..
Regards,
Nanmaaran
