 The "Bhagavad Gita" expounds the doctrine of Avatara but with terms other than "avatar".Theologically, the term is most often associated with the Hindu god Vishnu, though the idea has been applied to other deities.Varying lists of avatars of Vishnu appear in Hindu scriptures, including the ten Dashavatara of the "Garuda Purana" and the twenty-two avatars in the "Bhagavata Purana", though the latter adds that the incarnations of Vishnu are innumerable.
