1130 An abstract Translation from the Pudma Pooran. [No. 131. 



their obeying his injunction, Vishnoo pervading the tree as he pervades 

 all things in heaven and earth, shook it with a noise like thunder ; the 

 women being frightened clung naked round the tree, which immediately 

 assumed the form of a naked young man, in whose embraces they enjoyed 

 the fruit of their desires, but lost that virtue which gave immortality 

 to their husbands. Roodra immediately availed himself of their fall to 

 attack the giants, whom he destroyed together with their three cities. 



Vishnoo incarnate as a naked man is called Boodda, who established 

 the science called Boodda Sastrum, which taught the abolition of the wor- 

 ship previously paid to the deota under the names of Vishnoo, Seva and 

 Brahma, and prescribed the adoration of the godhead under the name of 

 Boodda, and the observance of the new commandments contained in the 

 Boodda Sastrum. Vishnoo after the promulgation of this new covenant, 

 told the gods to rejoice and be glad, as their enemies had been destroyed, 

 and then disappearing, returned to Vicoont. Since that period, the religion 

 and science of Boodda have become prevalent in the world. 



10th Avatar. 



At the end of the Kalee Youg, Vishnoo will be born as a son to the 

 Brahmin Dhurman-bhooshum. He will have the face of a horse, and will 

 appear riding on horseback with a dagger in his hand, with which he 

 shall smite the wicked, but the good will be rewarded.
