Vedas are highest in hierarchy of Sanathan dharma.
Most celebrated avatars never deny Vedas and in fact followed and authorised Vedas.
Is there any possibility of an anti-Vedic avatar?

2If buddha is considered avatars of Vishnu, then yes. But even Sri Vaishnava don't consider him avatar – TheLittleNaruto♦ Dec 6 '20 at 23:01

2@TheLittleNaruto - who said they don't consider him as avatar ? He is Vishnu avatar. He is anti-Vedic. The reason is to mislead the demonic people from getting power by chanting Vedas. – mar Dec 6 '20 at 23:59

1@TheLittleNaruto - that is only as far as the dashavataram (10 avatars) is concerned - where we say Balaram instead of Buddha. However, Bhagavatam describes 24 avataras - which are all accepted by Vaishnavas e.g. Kapila avatar. Buddha is definitely an avatar of Vishnu accepted by Vaishnavas. But we don't worship him because we know his purpose (to do Veda Ninda to lead demoniac away from Vedas). Even within avatars there are categories like Parashuram, who is a Jiva with powers of Bhagavan. In fact, there are innumerable other avataras. – mar Dec 7 '20 at 1:58

1@PrasannaR I think we should understand Puranas as a whole instead of an individual approach. Some information that is absent in the same may be present in another. – hanugm Dec 9 '20 at 8:45

Yes.
Buddha is an avatar of Lord Vishnu and he deluded asuras by refusing Vedas.
Then in the Kali age, the lord was born in the Kikatas as Buddha. He deluded the asuras and flouted the Vedas.
