Guest guest Posted April 27, 1999 Report Share Posted April 27, 1999 Dear devotees, The endearing story of how Lord Narasimha (the fourth of Vishnu's dasavatara-s) saved His devotee Prahlada from a demonic tyrant has perpetually fascinated mankind. Indeed, for millenia artists have painted and carved His form, great kings have sought His blessings before war, and the devotees have always recited His transcendental pastimes and worshipped His vigraha-form. In Narasimha-purana, Sri Narasimha's power is hinted at by Hiranyakasipu himself just before his horrific demise: "In course of our fight, Indra's lordly elephant came to hit me in the chest; I remember its tusks strong like pestle had been broken to pieces. The battle axe of Lord Shiva (the holder of the Pinaka bow) had been blunted in collision with my chest, but alas! Now the Nails of Narasimha so easily tear apart my huge expansive chest!"
