User:Jonny2003 05 26/Buddha Avatars in Hinduism

Buddha is accepted as an Avtara (Incarnation) of Vishnu/Krishna in Hinduism, usually in Dashavatara list he is placed on 9th place.

Buddha literally means "Enlightened One/Awakened One" so it's a title and as per Hindus traditions there have been 2 or 3 Buddhas but the interpretation varies within Hindu community and usually only 2 Buddhas are identified and it's interesting to note is some certain sects say 1 Buddha (Son of Ajana) is only Avtar of Vishnu, some others say Gautam Buddha is  Avtar , but I find it resonable to asumme 3 Buddhas (excluding Bhavishya Puran).

Also term Sugat Buddha can used for both Gautam Buddha and Ajanaputra Buddha because it just means one who is beyond samsara

(1) Ajanaputra Buddha: - (A)
Ajanaputra(Ajinaputra /Anjanaputra /Jinaputra Buddha) was born in Kikat (Gaya) present-day Bihar State of INDIA. He is generally belived to be born in Brahmin Family. The literally means son of Ajana. It's not clear wheter Ajana was father or mother though most people think it refers to his Mother.

Usually among traditional Hindus it's seen that they will his mother was Anjana and father was Jina

The story of his birth is linked to a cosmic battle against the Tripurasura demons, offspring of Tarakasura. Indra, the King of Heaven, loses his power due to his arrogance and seeks Lord Shiva’s protection. The demons, emboldened, attack Heaven and Earth, forcing the Devas to seek help from Shiva, who becomes the temporary ruler of Heaven.

The demons’ rule on Earth leads to a rise in sacrificial rituals, strengthening the Asuras. To counter this, Lord Vishnu incarnates as Sugata Buddha, using his charm to distract the demons’ wives, whose devotion is crucial to their husbands’ invulnerability. This distraction allows Lord Shiva to defeat the demons when the planets align, restoring peace and marking the celebration of Tripurari Purnima.

The story of Tripurasura can be partially traced back to Vedas particularly Krsihna Yajurved, Taittriya Samhita 6.2.3

(2) Siddarth Ikshavaku (Gautam Buddha) : -(S)
Siddarth Ikshavaku (Shakyamuni / Gautam Buddha/ Tathagata) was born in Kapilavastu (Lumbini present-day Nepal). . His Father's name was Shudodhan, Mother's name Mayadevi. He was born in Solar Dyanasty's Shakya clan and was Kshtriya by varna.

The tale begins with the birth of Siddhartha to King Shuddhodana of the Shakyas of Ikshavku lineage in Kapilavastu, located in the Himalayan foothills. Siddhartha’s birth is extraordinary, marked by auspicious signs predicting he would become a world savior and establish a new law of life and death.

Siddhartha’s early life unfolds in luxury within the royal palace, and he marries Yasodhara, with whom he has a son, Rahula. However, encounters with an old man, a sick boy, and a dead man profoundly alter his worldview. The prince becomes disillusioned with the transient nature of beauty, power, and wealth, which now appear as decay.

Seeking the ultimate truth of existence, Siddhartha embarks on a journey of discovery. He engages with Brahmins and ascetics, enduring six years of severe austerity in the forest. Even when offered a kingdom by King Magadhi Bibbisara to enact an ideal of justice, Siddhartha remains undeterred in his quest for enlightenment.

His pivotal moment of enlightenment occurs under the Bodhi tree near Gaya, where he resists the temptations and assaults of the demon Mara. Remaining motionless and contemplative, Siddhartha attains enlightenment and becomes the Buddha, the Awakened One.

As Buddha, he travels to Benares, delivering his first sermon outlining the path to end suffering through detachment from desires and passions, thus liberating oneself from worldly bonds. His teachings attract many disciples, forming a community united in the pursuit of spiritual equilibrium.

Despite attempts by his enemy Devadatta to harm him, Buddha remains unscathed, his message of peace and enlightenment continuing to resonate and spread throughout India.

Though some sources say he even deludes Daityas to Non-Vedas Path during Deva-Asura Battle while others call him he taught teachings based on Vedic principles to common folks to reach moksha.

(3) Mayamoha Buddha :-(M)
(M)                            (M)                                                              (M)

Story of Mayamoha Buddha as an Avtar of Vishnu based on Vishnu Puran 3.17, Vishnu Puran 3.18 and Padma Puran 1.13.342 to 1.3.413.

The gods were defeated by the Daityas under the command of Hrāda (son of Hiraṇyakaśipu ). The gods fled to the northern shore of the milky ocean, where they engaged in religious penance and prayed to Viṣṇu. Bṛhaspati, the Guru, meditated on Keśava (Viṣṇu). Knowing his meditation, Janardana created Māyāmoha, a being who would delude the demons with his tricks, and presented him to Bṛhaspati.

Bṛhaspati was told that Māyāmoha, associated with him, would infatuate all demons(daityas), making them outcasts from the Vedic path. Māyāmoha then went to the demons who were engaged in penance. Bṛhaspati approached them and introduced Māyāmoha as a naked, clean-shaven ascetic holding a peacock’s feather, who had come to favor them due to their devotion.

Māyāmoha, now known as Buddha, went to the earth and taught the Daityas to contemn the Vedas. He introduced his sceptical doctrines and prohibited animal sacrifices. The Daityas, seduced from their proper duties by the repeated lessons of their illusory preceptor, maintaining the equal truth of contradictory tenets. They become teachers of the same heresies, and perverted others; and these, again, communicating their principles to others, by whom they were still further disseminated, the Vedas were in a short time deserted by most of the Daitya race.

The demons gave up their demonhood and remained in the practices of the sages. They were doing deeds leading to the enhancement of religious practices in all beings. Indra was told to enjoy the kingdom of the three worlds and depart. Saying ‘All right’ Indra again went to heaven. All those demons were thus stupefied by Bṛhaspati, the priest of gods.

The best demons went to the river Narmadā and stayed there. Knowing all that account, Śukra again advised them. Then they again entertained the wicked idea of conquering the three worlds.

Note:- (i) Siddarth Gautam Buddha could have been potentially also identified as MayaMoha of Vishnu Puran and Padma Puran due to Agni Puran calling him Mayamoha (illusionary form) and deluding Daityas but name of specific daityas are not given  however it's more likely that this Mayamoha avatar is totally different buddha due to the fact that Hirankashyapu was in Satya Yuga.

(ii) Hiraṇyakaśipu has four sons—Prahlāda, Anuhlāda, Saṃhlāda and Hlāda. Story of Hlaada is given here.

(iv) Also the when it says they were naked it could be interpreted as philosophically as Vishnu Puran says 3 Vedas are Clothes and without them people are naked.

(1) Bhagavat Puran
{regarding Ajanaputra Buddha}

(i) 1.3.24  (A)

When Kali sets in, He will be born in Magadha (North Bihar) as Buddha, son of Ajana, with a view to deluding the enemies of gods.

Note here enemies of gods refer to Daityas/Asuras(Demons) not humans.

(ii) 2.7.37 (A)

When the demons (the enemies of the gods), though devoted to the path of the Vedas will destroy the people with their (aerial) citadels of invisible velocity, built by Maya (their architect) the Lord will assume a garb that will delude their mind and prove most alluring them teach them many a heresy.

Note:- Sanskrit says "Updharma" which is not exactly heresy rather is degraded verion of Dharma

(iii) 6.8.19 (A/ M likely but maybe S)

May Lord Dwaipayana (the divine sage Vedavyasa, so-called because He was born in an island) guard me against ignorance and Lord Buddha, against heretical creeds and neglect of duties.

(iv) 10.41.21 (A/M/S)

Hail to You as Lord Buddha, who was (altogether) faultless (though His gospel ran counter to the teachings of the Vedas) and who deluded the Daityas and the Danavas (by preaching an antiVedic doctrine) I Salutation to You in the form of Lord Kalki, (who is going to appear towards the end of Kaliyuga as) the Destroyer of Ksatriyas, who will have well-nigh been reduced to the position of Mlecchas.

(v) 11.4.21 (A/S/M)

Though birthless, the Lord will appear in the race of Yadu in order to remove the burden of the earth, and perform deeds which cannot easily be accomplished even by the gods. (Then appearing as Lord Buddha) He will bewilder (and confuse) by His arguments those who perform sacrificial rites though unqualified for them. And (appearing as Kalki) at the end of the Kali age, He will destroy the Sudra kings.

(2) Garuda Puran
{reference for Ajanputra Buddha}

(i) Chapter 1 (A)

Then at the junction of the Kali yuga, for stupefying the enemies of the celestials he was born as Buddha, the son of Jina.

(ii) 2.30.37 (A/S/M)

The names of the ten incarnations of the lord, viz. Matsya(fish), Kurma (tortoise), Varaha (boar), Narasimha (man-lion) , Shri Rama, Parshurama , Krishna, Balarama, Buddha and Kalki shall always be remembered.

(iii) 3.15.26 (A)

Then in the Kali age, the lord was born in the Kikatas as Buddha. He deluded the asuras and flouted the Vedas.

(3) Padma Puran
(i) verse 6.71.23 to 6.71.29a  (S due to context in same chapter)

O brāhmaṇa, he who always mutters or recites ‘Nṛsiṃha’ with joy, abandons this world and rejoices near Viṣṇu. A devotee of Viṣṇu is freed from a great sin in the Kali age. A man obtains by repeating the names of Viṣṇu in the Kali age, what he obtains by meditation in the Kṛta age, by performing sacrifices in the Tretā age, and by worshipping Viṣṇu in the Dvāpara age. Realising this men are plunged into Viṣṇu, the soul of the world. With all their sins destroyed they go to the highest position of Viṣṇu. Matsya, Kūrma, Varāha, Nṛsiṃha, Vāmana, so also (Paraśu-)rāma, Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, Buddha, and after him is said to be (the incarnation of) Kalki. These ten are said to be (Viṣṇu’s) ten incarnations on the earth. Merely by (uttering) their names, (even) the killer of a brāhmaṇa is always purified. He, by reciting, muttering, meditating upon Viṣṇu’s name in any manner, is freed. There is no doubt that he would be Viṣṇu himself.

(ii) verse 6.71.265 to 6.7.278 (S)

He is Buddha (literally, enlightened). He has won over through meditation the god of all gods. He is without a weapon. He has conquered the world. He is Śrīdhara. He deludes the wicked. He has outcast the demons from the Vedic (fold). He has preserved the meaning of the Vedas and the sacred texts. He is the son of Śuddhodana (i.e. he is Buddha). He is seen and shown. He gives happiness. He is the lord of the assembly. He shows favour to all as they deserve it. He is all void. He gives all that is desired. He has four crores of various principles. He is the lord who has gone beyond intelligence. He is the lord showing the path of the Veda to the heretics. He is the preserver of the texts sacred to the heretics.

note that the translation of Shaudhodhani is based on Amarkosh which says it refers to Gautam Buddha whose mother is Mayadevi.

(iii) verse 6.252.108 to 6.252.115 (A)

{reference for Ajanaputra Buddha}

O you desiring the fruits of all times, what is the use of speaking much in this regard? A wise man should only utter the formula: ‘Salutation to Kṛṣṇa’. ‘Repeated salutations to Kṛṣṇa, Vāsudeva, Hari, the highest soul. I, bowing down repeatedly salute Govinda for the destruction of my affliction.’ O goddess, a man should, everyday, with devotion, mutter this formula. Being free from all sins, he would obtain Viṣṇu’s world. This lord Janārdana assumes different form(s) for the protection of all gods and of the worlds. I, with a desire to kill Tripura, worshipped Viṣṇu. The glorious one, taking up the form of Buddha, deluded his enemies. Those who were deluded by that teaching gave up all religious practices. (These) enemies of gods were killed by me with Viṣṇu’s missile.

(iv) 6.236.6 (M)

Viṣṇu of the form of Buddha proclaimed the false Buddhist doctrine and those of the naked and wearing dark blue garments for the destruction of the demons.

Mayamoha is the buddha refered due naked.

(v) 1.13.187-188 (A)

187-188. When the gods were unable to conquer Tripura, the enemy of gods, they having deluded the demons drank the nectar and came to life again and again. All the demons in the three worlds were killed by Śiva.

This part of story from Katha of Ajanputra Buddha

(4) Matsya Puran
(i)Chapter 47 verse 247 -248 (? S)

For the establishing of the dharma pretty well and for destruction of asuras in the ninth incarnation, lord Budda was born, Sundara (leader of Saundraanand) will be his companion at that point of time. His eyes resembled the lotus of flowers. Dvaipaayana -the great astetic - the great ascetic happened to be his priest. At the end of the same yuga when only sandhyaa would be left, lord Vishnu will incarnate in the form of Kalki - the son of Vishnuyasha.

To be honest I am not sure which buddha (Ajanputra or Siddarth) exactly is refered here but chances are Gautam Buddha story in Hindu version maybe as this matysa puran do mention Siddarth in Ikshvakus as son of Shuddodhan

(ii) Chapter 271 verse12 (S)

{In Ikshavku lineage during Kali Yuga}

Sanjaya's son will be Shakya. After Shakya will be the king Shudhaudana. The son of Shudhaudana will be Siddartha, the eminent, Puskala or Rahula will the son of Siddartha.

(5) Agni Puran
(i) Chapter 16 verse 1-5         (S)

{reference of Gautam Buddha}

रक्ष रक्षेति शरणं वदन्तो जग्मुरीश्वरम् मायामोहस्वरूपोऽसौ शुद्धोदनसुतोऽभवत् ॥ मोहयामास दैत्यांस्तांस्त्याजिता वेदधर्मकम् । ते च बौद्धाबभूवुर्हि तेभ्योऽन्यो वेदवर्जिताः ॥

(अग्नि पुराण: अध्याय-16, श्लोक 1-3)

1. I am describing the manifestation (of Viṣṇu) as Buddha, by reading and hearing which one gets wealth. Once in the battle between devas and asuras, devas were defeated by the daityas (demons, sons of Diti).

2They sought refuge in the lord saying, “Protect us! Protect us!”. He (Viṣṇu), who is of the form of illusory delusion became the son of Śuddhodana (i.e Gautam Buddha).

3-4. He deluded those demons. Those, who had abandoned the path laid down in the Vedas, became the Bauddhas and from them others who had abandoned the Vedas. He then became the Arhat. He then made others as Arhats. Thus the heretics came into being devoid of vedic dharmas.

5-6. They did such a work deserving hell (as reward). They would receive even from the vile. All of them became mixed Dasyus and devoid of good conduct at the end of Kaliyuga.

(ii) Chapter 49 verse 8 (S)

शान्तात्मा लम्बकर्णश्च गौराङ्गश्चाम्बरावृतः।ऊर्ध्वपद्मस्थितो बुद्धो वरदाभयदायकः ॥

The figure of Buddha (should be made) as calm, having long ears, white complexion, wearing a cloth, and seated on a lotus with its petals upwards and as conferring favour and protection.

{statue of Buddha making description which of Gautam Buddha}

(6) Sri Vishnu Dharma (Purva) Puran
Chapter 66 verse 68 to 72 (S)

ततः कलियुगे घोरे सम्प्राप्तेऽब्जसमुद्भव । शुद्धोदनसुतो बुद्धो भविष्यामि विमत्सरः ॥ बौद्धं धर्ममुपाश्रित्य करिष्ये धर्मदेशनाम् । नराणामथ नारीणां दया भूतेषु दर्शयन् ॥

Then, in the terrible age of Kali, the lotus flower arose. I shall become a Buddha, the son of Shuddhodana, and free from envy. I will preach the Dharma by resorting to Buddhist Dharma. Showing compassion to men and women to beings. They were dressed in red and had bright eyes and a calm mind. They will teach the Dharma to Shudras when I attain Buddhahood.

(7) Skand Puran
Section 3 Chapter 151

verse 4-7 (S)

One who takes his holy bath in that Tīrtha and visits Madhusūdana, is liberated from all sins by repeating the names of the ten births (i.e. ten incarnations of the Lord). Those ten are: the Fish, the Tortoise, the Boar, the Man-lion, the Dwarf, Paraśurāma, Rāmacandra, Kṛṣṇa, Buddha and Kalki.O dear one, what was done by Matsya (the Divine Fish)? O excellent sage, what was done by Kūrma, the Divine Tortoise? What was the act of Varāha, the Divine Boar? What was done by Narasiṃha (the Man-lion)? By Vāmana (the Dwarf), by Paraśurāma, by Rāghava? What was done by the Lord in the form of Buddha? What was done by Kalki? Tell me

verse 18-28 (S)

Similarly, Acyuta will take up the next birth as Buddha. The Slayer of Madhu, the Lord of the chiefs of Devas, who is fond of the spring season, will be very quiescent. With Lord Parameṣṭhin in the form of Buddha the entire universe consisting of mobile and immobile beings will become enchanted.

probably Gautam as Buddha Puranima is around April-May ? i.e. near spring as Tripurari Purnima is around November. Also the nature of Buddha looks like Gautam Buddha to me like quiet and peaceful nature depiction much like Agni Puran statue description verse

(8) Bhavishya Puran
Note these references of pratisarga parva of bhavishya are considered as interpolation by many.

{K is for Kashyap Buddha in Buddhism whose gotra is Kashyap as per Diggha Nikkaya Volume 2 Chapter1, also in same chapter we are told gotra of Gautam Buddha is Gautam }

(i) Pratisarg Parva 1st khand Chapter 6 verse 36   ?K ?S   interpolation

It is said that Hari was pleased and took birth in the name of Gautam through Kashyap. He adopted Buddhism and went to Patna and ruled for ten years. After him came Shakya Muni, who ruled for twenty years. Shakya Muni was purified and ruled for thirty years. Again he was born Shakya Singh. Whose birth period is said to be after 2070 years of Kali. During this first phase of Kali, this king has destroyed the Veda path. He ruled for sixty years. During this period of reign, all the people became followers of Buddhism. Among humans, the king is considered to be the form of Vishnu, and it is a rule that the people should be like the king.

(ii) Pratisarga Parva Khanda 4 Chapter 20    ?K ?S ?A interpolation

In Magadha, after Kaashyap’s death, Bali Daitya, an enemy, supported Kali’s side. He propagated a corrupted form of Prakrit language among the Aryans and gave the language of the Mlechchhas, residents of Mishra, a Sanskrit form for the destruction of the gods and improvement of the demons.

In response to this threat, twelve Adityas were asked to take birth on earth. These Adityas, in the form of Praveen, Nipnu, Abhijna, Kushal, Kriti, Sukhi, Nishat, Educated, Omniscient, Sunat, Enlightened, and Buddha, were born in the country of Keekat(present day Gaya, Bihar). They wrote Buddhist scriptures criticizing the Vedas and took the Vedas from the people, giving them to the sages.

As a result of the condemnation of the Vedas, all the gods who were born on earth and were suffering from leprosy went to the Buddhist form of Lord Vishnu and praised him. Pleased with this, God destroyed their leprosy with his power of yoga. However, despite being bright, the Buddhists started remaining naked due to that defect.

For the destruction of the Buddhist kingdom and the welfare of the people, God remains in the form of wood and stone in a temple built by King Indradyumna on the banks of the Indus. The glory of this place has increased due to the stay of Yagyansh Dev, who established a religion that fulfills all the desires of the world and gives salvation.

In Kaliyuga, people will become pure by seeing God, who is there to destroy the great sin of those who have practiced or continue to practice the language of the Yavanas and the philosophy of Buddhism.

This story appears to be a recent interpolation during 17th to 19th century due to the association of Ajanputra Buddha to Destruction of Tripura based on other puranas and for Siddartha Ikshavaku genealogy from rest of Puranas and Buddhist texts don't match. Also interestingly in the 1st reference from Bhavishya Puran that the Gotra of this interpolated story saying Gautam Buddha is Kashyap while at other texts we see his Gotra is Gautam.

if one doesn't consider it an interpolation then he can could possibly be identified with Kashyap Buddha mentioned by Gautam Buddha in Dighha Nikkaya whose Gotra was Kashyap.

(iii) Pratisarga Parva khand 4 Chapter 21 verse 21-35  '''?K ? S interpolation'''

In this region called Keekat, both of them were born from the union of Kashyap and Aditi and also Adityas for the welfare of the world. Staying at a place called Bodh Gaya on the banks of the Karmanasha river, they debated with those Buddhist scholars. They kidnapped the Vedas from those Shudras and reached Vishala and handed them over to the meditating sages there after awakening them. After that all the gods left this earth and went to heaven. After that those mlechha and their followers, the Veda Paathi people, became Buddhists. Due to the influence of Saraswati ji, those majority Aryans became Aryans who offered Havi and Kavya for the gods and ancestors, and the gods were very satisfied with that. After 2700 years of Kali had passed on this earth, the illusionist Maya demon came under the inspiration of the demon Bali, who was extremely illusionist and the teacher of Shakyasingh. He became famous by the name of Gautam who always kept trying to increase the demon side. He went to all the pilgrimage sites and established instruments. All the Buddhists who reached below him became Varna Sankar by losing Shikha-Sutra. The number of those Aryans who followed the path of Buddhism was ten crore. The remaining five lakh Aryans reached the mountain peaks above them. Due to the influence of the four Vedas, forty princes of Agnivansh, Kshatriyas who were great warriors, expelled the Buddhists from their place. They made those Aryans live in the southern region of Vindhya mountains with rituals, which strengthened the Varna system very much. Five lakh Aryans were living in that holy region called Aryavart.

(9) Varaha Puran
(i) Chapter 4 verse 2-3  (A/S/M)

Matsya (fish), Kurma (tortoise), Varaha (boar), Narasiihha (man-lion), Vamana (dwarf), Parshurama, Ram (son of Dalaratha), Krishna (dark-one), Buddha (enlightened) and Kalki—these ten are told as His forms, O beautiful one bearing all the beings. These are the steps for those who wish to attain the vision (of Vishnu).

(ii) Chapter 48 verse 20-22 (?A / ?S)

{ I personally think S is morelikely as Ashvaghosha praising Siddarth's looks makes girls blush/praise that whoever  would be his wife be so lucky}

One may worship Narasiihha for ridding oneself of sins, Vamana for removing all stupefaction, Parasurama for wealth, Rama for annihilation of enemies, Balarama and Krsna for begetting sons, Buddha for physical charm and Kalki for victory.

(iii) Chapter 55 verse 37 (A/S/M)

I bow to you, O Narasimha, Vamana, Parasurama, Rama, Vasudcva, Buddha, Kalkin, Sambhu, the destroyer of the enemies of the gods.

(iv) Chapter 113 verse 42 (A/S/M)

You are (the avataras) Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, (Parshu)rama, Krishna, Buddha and Kalki.

(v) Chapter 211 verse 69

He shall worship him as the ten incarnations namely the fish, tortoise, boar, man-lion, dwarf, (Parshu)Rama, Rama,, Krsna, Buddha and Kalki.

(11) Linga Puran
(i) 1.71 (A)

Gives a detailed description of Ajanaputra Buddha story relating to killing of Tripura Asuras/Daityas by Shiva.

However it doesn't explictly use the word Buddha but that can be confirmed from Padma Puran that Tripurasura is linked to Ajanputra

(ii) Chapter 48 verse 31-32 (A/S/M)

31-32. The forms are conducive to the welfare of worlds. They occur at every cycle of yugas 808 viz. — Matsya (fish), Kfirma (tortoise), Varaha (boar), Narasimha (man-lion), Vamana (dwarf), Rama (of solar race), Rama (Parashurama), Krishna, Buddha and Kalki. There are other forms 804 of lord Visnu due to the curse of Bhrgu.

(12) Nilamata Puran (S)
(नीलमत पुराण)

709-710a O Brahman, the god Visnu, the lord of the world, shall be (born as) the preceptor of the world, Buddha by name, at the time when the Pusya is joined with the moon, in the month of Vaisaksha, in twenty eighth Kali Age.

710b-12. Listen from as to how his worship should be performed in the bright-half, from that period onwards, in future. The image of Buddha should be bathed (with water renderd holy) with all medicinal herbs, all jewels and all scents, in accordance with the sayings of the Sakyas. The dwellings of the Sakyas (i.e. Viharas) should be whitewashed with care.

713. Here and there, the Caityas - the abodes of the god - should be provided with paintings. The festival, swarming with the actors and the dancers, should be celebrated.

714. The Sakyas should be honoured with Civara (the dress of a Buddhist mendicant ), food and books. All this should be done till the advent of Magha.

(13) Vayu Puran (S)
Uttarardh Chapter 37 verse 284 to 285  or (Chapter 99 verse 284-285)

{Corrected minor from original translation}

Shakya will be born as the son of Sanajaya. Shakya's son would Shuddodhan. Shuddodhan's son shall asume title of Shakya(muni) and give birth to Rahul. Rahul's son would be Prasenjit and his son would be Kshudrak.

(14) Vishnu Puran (S ?)
Interesting observation that Book 4 Chapter 22 skips Siddarth after Shuddodhan and directly jumps to Rahul which could be due to the fact that Siddarth never became the king while this list says Kings of Ikshvaku.

(15) Vishnu Dharmottar Puran (S)
Khand 3 Chapter 351 Shloka 54

मया बुद्धेन वक्तव्या धर्माः कलियुगे पुनः  ।

हन्तव्या म्लेच्छराजानस्तथा विष्णुवशात्मना  ॥ ३,३५१.५४ ॥

I, the Buddha, must again explain the religious principles in the Kali-yuga.Under the control of Lord Viṣṇu (as Lord Kalki), the kings of the Mlecchas should also be killed. 3,351.54 ॥

विष्णुर्वेदविरुद्धस्थमार्गसंसर्जनात्किल॥

(मुद्गल पुराण, खण्ड – ०८, अध्याय – १५)

Due to the establishment of the path contrary to the Vedas, Lord Vishnu became devoid of worship in the form of Buddha, his worship is prohibited.

Though it's noted this is an up-puran of Ganpatyas while Mahapuran Varaha Puran talks of worship of Buddha Avtar

(19) Dasavatara Stotram Jayadeva
(A/S/M)

verse 9:-

Victory to Keshava, the of Universe, who assumed the form of Buddha, who found fault with fire sacrifices, in which poor animals were sacrificed, As prescrived in the Vedas due to his compassionate heart.

(20) Adi Shankaracharya's Hari-Shiva Strotram
(S due to Mara being mentioned)

verse 10 :-

पाठितकेतोर्जयिने प्रतीतसर्वज्ञ्यभावाय दयैकसीम्न्ने | प्रायः क्रतु द्वेषकृतदराय बोधौकदाम्न्ने स्पृहयामि भूम्न्ने || १०

Vishnu: I worship the spiritual radiance manifested as Buddha, who was all-knowing, who was the conqueror of Mara, who was full of mercy, who was of the nature of Bodha (spiritual conciousness), and who was the adored of those who were opponents of Yagnyas.

Shiva: I worship that spiritual radiance Shiva, who is all-knowing, who is the destroyer of Cupid (Mara), who is full of mercy, who is all knowledge, and who is praised by those who destroyed the Yagnya of Daksha.

In Vishnu Stuti the conqueror of Mara indicates he is thinking of Siddarth Gautam Buddhas as mara demon's story is associated with him

(25) Shankara Digvijaya by Madhavacharya
(S)

Canto 1 verse 27-39

In days of yore, it was to favour us that Lord Vishnu incarnated Himself as the Buddha and diverted unrighteous men (? daityas) from contaminating the Vedic path, by preaching a new religion for them. But today, the country is filled with the heterodox followers of that religion, as night is by darkness. They are indulging in carping criticism of the Veda, declaring it to be just a fraudulent means of livelihood for a few, and condemning its teachings on the duties of Varnas and Ashramas as mere superstitions. As people have given up the orthodox Vedic path and become heretics, there is none to do the daily devotional acts like Sandhya, or to take to the life of renunciation.

(26) Dashavtar Stuti by Sri Vadiraja
(S)

There was a time, when the whole world (kaliyuga) was full of divine culture and vaidic (sacred) environment and at the same time many demons (asuras) were also born and started following the divine culture and learning divine knowledge. Because of this dharma started decaying (spoilt) in their hands.

During that time for the king of Shakya by name Shudhodhana a baby was born. It is understood that Sri Paramathma in the form of this baby started talking and preached that this world is void (shunya, empty) and all things which are happening are all miseries. This is suppose to be Bhuddha philosophy. (Sri Hari who is in the form of Baby has preached this).

In order to prove this philosophy is true to the people Sri Hari has swallowed all the weapons which devataas has attacked to the baby. After seeing these wonders and these incidents the King Shuddodaka and his followers started believing the new philosophy and started practising the same, by leaving aside the vedic philosophy.

After sometime the Paramathma who was in the form of baby has disappeared. and Shuddodaka son appeared again. Shuddodaka son grown up as Bhudda started preaching Bhudda philosophy which Paramathma has publicised previously. Even in Devaloka (adobe) Sri Paramathma has preached devataas the real essence of Bhudda philosophy which he has preached as Bhudda in this world. Sri Paramathma preached devtas the essence of Bhudda philosophy which is publishised as ‘Prashanthavidya’ which even Shuddodaka’s son Bhudda and his followers cannot understand this philosophy.
