  The tale of Sugata Buddha, the 9th avatar of Lord Vishnu is a captivating narrative deeply rooted in Indian mythology. However, it’s worth noting that there is some ambiguity within Hindu myths regarding whether Gautam Buddha or Balarama, the elder brother of Krishna, is the true 9th avatar of Lord Vishnu. Despite these differing accounts, a unique story emerges that supports   Sugata Buddha as the rightful 9th avatar .     According to Indian mythology within the framework of Sanatan Dharma, there exist two Buddhas: 1.

He was trained by sage Vishwamitra in military tactics and received divine weapons from Lord Shiva. During Parashurama's time, the warrior clans became arrogant and considered themselves superior to the four Varnas. Kartavirya Arjuna, the monarch of the Haihayas Kingdom, was a tyrannical ruler who created havoc on Earth. In response, Parashurama took an oath to eliminate the Kshatriyas twenty-one times after witnessing the brutal murder of his father, Jamadagni, at the hands of Kartavirya Arjuna's soldiers. Parashurama's divine mission led him to challenge and defeat Sahastrarjuna, ultimately eradicating the cruel Kshatriyas and restoring Dharma in Treta Yuga. In another significant
