"" Ramo vigrahavan Dharmaha" says Valmiki Ramayana!! He is more an embodiment of Dharma than a GOD;s avatar! Very few people recognized him as an avatar of Vishnu!! It is to set an example to the world that Rama acted his part though he came down as an avatar!! Only in the offering of 'sapavimochana' to sage Gautama's wife Ahalya, granting 'moksham' to Jatayu and Sabari his divine avatara signs are seen!! His sufferings and languishing for Sita like an ordinary mortal do not show him as an avatar!! Ramayana kavya by Valmiki is explicitly written to establish Dharma through the avatar of Sri Rama!! On the other hand Krishna was born to Devaki with ' CHATURBHUJA, SANKHA & CHAKRA in the prison cell though the form became a normal Child soon after!! At every stage miracles are demonstrated by Child krishna in killing the demon Putana and various others!! He was looked upon as the divine avatar by many people except kamsa and a few of his associates! Coming to the rescue of Draupadi while disrobing her and in many other instances He has revealed his Divine nature and the qualities of an avatar!! Every avatar has a specific purpose in coming down! krishna came down to protect Dharma in its decay and establish Dharma or righteousness as well as the followers of Dharma!! As a consequence he had to destroy the perpetrators of evil! "parithranaya sadhunam Vinasayacha dushkrutham Dharma samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge!" Rama killed the regular demons like Ravana, kumbhakarna Maricha and others! krishna Killed mortals who had demonaic qualities like kamsa and the Kauravas through Arjuna and others!! Establishment of Dharma is the main motive!! I do not make a distinction between the Avatars!! Rama, krishna, Narasimha, Vamana and others are equally divine and should be liked & venerated!!"
