Eighth avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism (7)

I believe the answer is:

krishna

(Other definitions for krishna that I've seen before include "Hare ..., religious sect based on Vedic scriptures" , "Most celebrated of Hindu deities" , "divine figure" , "lord?" , "Hindu deity - Sikh ran (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
