He is the first Avatara to be mentioned by name, appearing right in the 3rd verse.

योगो योगविदां नेता प्रधानपुरुषेश्वरः ।
नारसिंहवपुः श्रीमान् केशवः पुरुषोत्तमः ॥

Sreeman Narasimha, the one from whom Lakshmi never leaves. Image
He appears around the middle in Verse 52 as

गभस्तिनेमिः सत्त्वस्थः सिंहो भूतमहेश्वरः ।
आदिदेवो महादेवो देवेशो देवभृद्गुरुः ॥

He is the Mahesvara who appeared as the Lion. Image

ஹிரண்யகசிபு என்ற அரக்கன்
நீண்ட ஆயுளை பெற பிரம்மாவை நோக்கி கடும் தவம் புரிந்தான். இரவிலோ, பகலிலோ, தேவர்களாலோ, மனிதனாலோ, விலங்காலோ, பறவையாலோ, ஆயுதங்களாலோ, நீரிலோ, நிலத்திலோ, ஆகாயத்திலோ, வீட்டிற்கு உள்ளேயோ, வெளியேயோ தனக்கு மரணம் ஏற்படக்கூடாது, என் உடலில் இருந்து ஒரு சொட்டு ரத்தம் நிலத்தில் சிந்தினாலும்
தன்னை கொல்ல முயல்பவன் தலை சுக்குநூறாக வெடித்துவிட வேண்டும் என்ற வரத்தை பிரம்மாவிடம் பெற்றான். அதன் பிறகு அவனின் அட்டூழியங்கள் எல்லை மீறி போயின. ஶ்ரீமன் நாராயணனை வணங்கியதற்காக தன் சொந்த மகன் பிரஹலாதனையே கொல்லத் துணிந்தான். பலவாறாக மகனை சித்தரவதை செய்தும் பிரகலாதன் நாராயண நாமத்தை

"Sri Lakshmi narasimha, I humbly surrender to you seeking your divine protecting hands"

On the occasion of #narasimhajayanti, a short thread of few lesser known temples & avatars of Sri Laxmi narasimha Swamy. Image
Sri Yoga Narasimha temple, Gorur, Karnataka- Sri vishnu is believed to have appeared as Sri Yoganarasimha (yogic posture) on a stone to sage gokarna.The present deity statue is believed to be carved from the same stone.The deity is special as he faces west and has three eyes 🙏. Image
Jharani Narsimha cave temple,Bidar, Karnataka - The idol here is believed to be a swayambhu(self manifest) formed on the laterite wall. One has to wade through a 4 - 5 feet of water in the cave to get a glimpse of this divine deity at the end of tunnel, an architectural wonder 🙏 ImageImage

Since today is #NarasimhaJayanti, I thought I'd do a thread on the raga #SimhendraMadhyamam

Why this raga on this occasion? #Thread
We know the story behind #NarasimhaJayanti. To summarise:
a. Hiranyakashipu, wants to avenge the killing of his brother Hiranyaksha by Lord Vishnu.
b. Does a long penance and gets a lot of boons from various Gods, the most important being from Brahma.
c. Predictably, Hiranyakashipu (HK) asks for immortality, but Brahma refuses. So, HK asks for the same thing (he thinks), but in a convoluted manner.
d. What is that? HK asks that he not be killed by ANY living entities created by Brahma (who created practically everything)

श्रीमत्पयोनिधिनिकेतन चक्रपाणे
भोगीन्द्रभोगमणिरञ्जितपुण्यमूर्ते ।

On #NarasimhaJayanti, a short thread of some of my favourite Lord Narasimha icons. 🙏

Beginning with Hampi which was attacked by Muslim invaders.
The above image is from 1880. After restoration work by ASI, this is what it looks like now.

A constant reminder of how Dharma was attacked and how India was plundered!
Lord Narasimha in combat with Hiranyakasipu. From the 9th century Someswara Temple in Patteswaram.

Look at the eyes and legs locked!
