BPHS Chapter 2

Ch. 2. Great Incarnations

1. Maitreya: “O Mahārishi Parāśar, are the incarnations of Vishnu, viz.  Śrī  Ram,  Śrī  Krishn etc., endowed with Jivāńś?

2. Maharishi Parashar: “O Brahmin, the four incarnations, viz. Ram, Krishn, Narasimh  and Varah are wholly with Paramatmāńś. The other incarnations (than these, out of the ten) have in them  Jivāńś  too.

3-4. The unborn Lord has many incarnations. He has incarnated, as the 9 (Nava) Grahas to bestow on the living beings the  results due to their Karmas. He  is Janardan. He assumed the auspicious form  of Grahas to destroy the demons (evil forces) and sustain the divine beings.

5-7. From  Sūrya the incarnation of Ram,  from  Candr  that of Krishn, from Mangal that of Narasimh, from  Budh that of Buddha, from  Guru that of Vaman, from  Śukr that of Parashuram, from  Śani that of Kurma (Tortoise), from  Rahu that of Varah (Pig) and from Ketu that of Meen (Fish) occurred. All other incarnations than these also are through the Grahas. The beings with more Paramatmāńś  are called divine beings.

8-13. The beings with more Jivatmāńś  are (mortal) beings. The high degree of Paramatmāńś from  the Grahas, viz. Sūrya etc. did incarnate, as Ram,  Krishn etc. After completing the mission, the Paramatmāńśas (of the respective) Grahas again merge (in the respective) Grahas. The Jivatma portions from  the Grahas take  births, as human beings and live their lives according to  their Karmas and again merge  in the Grahas. And at the time of Great Destruction the Grahas as well merge in Lord  Vishnu. The one, who knows of all these, will become  versed in the knowledge of the past, present and future. Without a knowledge of Jyotish these cannot be known. Hence, everyone should have a knowledge of Jyotish, particularly the Brahmin. The one, who, devoid  of knowledge of Jyotish, blames this Vedic Science will go to the hell called  ‘Raurava’ and will be reborn blind.
