The Buddha-avatara is Vishnu's prophesied incarnation of Vaishnava tradition, appearing in Kali to (in the Bhagavata's words) bewilder the faithless; Hindu-puranic tradition identifies him with the historical Gautama Buddha (Shakyamuni), though the Bhagavata frames the appearance as future prophecy. SB 1.3.24: 'buddho namnanjanasutah kikatesu bhavisyati' — son of Anjana, in the Kikata country.
