SIMHACHALAM |
|
|
| Lord Narayana took
on the incarnation in the aspect of Lord Narasimha in order that he may kill Hiranyakasipu
without violating the many boons that Hiranya had obtained from various other gods by the
power of has Tapascharya. Even after the destruction of Hiranyakasipu, the fury of the
Lord did not abate, and this caused trouble and fear to all the Devas. Thereupon Lord Siva
assumed the shape of a bird or Sarabha and pacified Lord Narasimha. The consecration of
this image of the Lord in this form is said to destroy enemies, secure success in battles,
cure all ailments, and procure every good. |
