The word Buddha seems to have been used for Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism.Mythologically, he was accepted in Hinduism as the ninth incarnation of Vishnu. His great success as a religious teacher seerns to have induced the Brahmin savants to adopt him as their own. As Vishnu's ninth incarnation he encouraged the wicked people to hate Vedas, reject the caste as well as the gods in order to hasten them to their destruction.
