Vamana
Hindu · deity · treta yuga · Recorded classification
Of the ten avatars the corpus held six — Matsya, Varaha, Narasimha, Rama, Krishna and Balarama. This adds a seventh. Kurma, Parashurama and Kalki remain BLOCKED census rows: the searches that returned Vamana returned those three only as items in a list, with no treatment attached, and a record built from a list entry would be a name with nothing behind it.
