Vishnu, the supreme blue deity,
Is the master of time and every being’s friend.
Through his ten special avataras-mysterious and mighty,
He protects the universe and brings evil to an end.
MATSYA, KURMA and VARAHA
Bestow life upon gods and humans.
NARASIMHA, VAMANA and PARASHURAMA
Defeat ego and arrogance.
RAMA, BALARAMA and KRISHNA
Show the true meaning of brotherhood.
And last is the much-awaited KALKI,
Who shall bring back the reign of good!
Known together as the Dashavatara,
These incarnations are a perfect ten!
This is their heroic saga,
Let’s begin reading their stories, then?
