These incarnations of Vishnu were born from the planets in sequence for the sake of
destroying the power of demons, for enhancing the power of gods and for establishing
righteousness. Rama was an avatara of Sun, Krishna of Moon, Nrisimha of Mars, Buddha of
Mercury, Vamana of Jupiter, Parashurama of Venus, Kurma of Saturn, Shukara of Rahu and
Meena of Ketu. The remaining avataras were also born from the planets.
The avataras which have a predominance of the paramatma part are called Khecharas (that is
gods, literally meaning moving in the sky) and those which have a predominance of the jiva
part are called Jivas.
From the planets Sun etc the paramatma part emerges and the avataras like Rama, Krishna etc
come into existence. After their work is over they always merge there itself (in the
respective planets from where they emerged). The jiva parts of the planets emerge and
human beings etc come into existence. They also merge there itself (in the respective planets
from where they emerged). And they (the planets) merge into the Avyakta (the unmanifest).
O Vipra! I have said to you that in which everything is, was and shall be. The one who
knows this shall acquire omniscience.
Without knowing this, one cannot know Jyotisha in any way. Therefore it must be read,
especially by Brahmins.
