Most of the paasurams that I am familiar with are not about(or do not mention) any particular avataaram. However , many of Aandaal's paasurams are about krishna .Periyaazhvaar , in his periyaazhvaar thirumozhi has a lot of paasurams about krishna (eg : poochoottal and kaappidal ). I know of a few paasurams in which raamavataaram is there. What about others? Nothing comes to mind immediately. I --------------------------- Among the 10 prominent avathaarams the most often mentioned are Rama, Krishna, Vamana, and Nrisimha avathaarams. Here are three from thiruppallaaNdu: raamaa: ilangai paazhaaLaaga padaiporuthaan krishna: iNdaikkulaththai edutththuk kaLaindha irudeekEsan nrusimha: andhiyam pOthil ariyuruvaagi ariyaiyai azhiththavan There are many beautiful refernces to Vaamana avathaaram. Here are two from thiruppaavai: Ongi ulagaLandha uththaman (thiruppaavai) anRiv vulagamaLandhaay (thiruppaavai) ANdaaL mentions Balaraaman in thiruppaavai with, sempoR kazhaladi selvaa baladhEvaa umbiyum neeyum uRangElOr empaavaay. Thirumangai aazhvaar's siRiya thirumadal is a treat to the ears and heart with: aaraal ivvaiyam aLappuNdathu - vaamana aaraal ilangai podipodiyaanadhu - raamaa aaraal kanmaari kaaththathu - KaNNan aazhineer aaraal kadaindhidappattathu - varaaha ponpeyarOn aagaththai kooraarththa vaLLugiraal keeNdu - nrusimha Look at periya thirumozhi 11.4.1 - 11.4.10 of thirumangai aazhvaar for: ... varu meenai maalai maRavaathu iRancen manamE (maccha) ... adal aamaiyaana thirumaal namakOr araNE (koorma) ... aathi Enamaagi araNaaya moorththi adhu nammai aaLum arasE (varaaha) ... ariyaagi anRu ...

I could not find one for Kalki quickly. I shall look for one. If someone else finds one for Kalki please post. -- pd
