| The Avatara of Lord
Vishnu as Lord Narasimhaswamy is a famous and important one. To save Prahlada, who was a
great devotee, the Lord took on the incarnation of Narasimhaswamy and killed Hiranya
Kasipu. While fighting with this God, Hiranya Kasipu, whom was a great devotee of Lord
Siva, prayed to, Lord Siva to save him in the last moment. Lord Siva who, by nature,
cannot but respond immediately to a call in distress on the part of his sincere devotees,
immediately rushed to the aid of Hiranya Kasipu and took the shape of a Sarabha and fought
with Lord Vishnu and at last died at the hands of Lord Vishnu. |
