It is interesting to see that the debate has taken towards the so-
called incarnation/ birth of Ayyappa.
I would like to know the Puraana Vaakya (Which Puraana, Which Sarga)
mentions about the Avataara of Ayyappa.
The Mantra recited in praise of Ayyappa by some Purohits, mentions the
name Shaasta. (For that, they refer to the Ashwamedha Mantra> अयं
शास्ताधिपतिर्वो अस्तु।)
Many scholars say that, the Jaganmohini/ Mohini Form of Vishnu does
not mention the birth of a child.
More thoughts/ information from Puraana Pundits - are welcome.

Lord Ayyappa and Sabarimala
There are many stories regarding the birth of Lord Ayyappa. According to mythology Lord Ayyappa was an adopted son of King Rajasekara, a descendent of Pandya dynasty. As the king did not have a biological child he prayed to Lord Shiva. He was granted an orphan who was found as a baby on the bank of River Pampa which is considered as holy as the Ganges. The king took him to palace after a sage appeared and told that the baby had divine powers and whose identity would be known on his 12th birthday. While Lord Ayyappa grew in the palace, the queen gave birth to a baby boy. The queen, instigated by a royal minister, hatched a plan to eliminate Lord Ayyappa to prevent him from ascending the throne. She faked illness and made Lord Ayyappa go in search of tiger's milk assuming he would get killed. But Lord Ayyappa returned with a tigress and tigers to the palace. At the same time, the sage reappeared and revealed the identity of Lord Ayyappa to the king. The king decided to build a temple in the name of Lord Ayyappa. The lord aimed an arrow and shot it at the hills. He told the king to build the temple where the arrow landed. King Rajasekara laid the foundation stone for this temple and built it at Sabarimala. It is believed that Parasurama Maharshi installed the idol of Ayyappa at Sabarimala.
According to another story, Lord Ayyappa was known as ‘Ayyan’ and was the army chief of the Pandalam royal family. During a war, he got killed and his uncle built a temple in his name after realizing his real form. After his demise, Lord Ayyappa was considered as an incarnation of Lord Sastha and people began worshipping him.
