The
efficacy of this sacrosanct from of Narasimha, according to
scriptures-Upanishads, Divya Prabandhams, devotional literature and
Bhagavadgita, is the most potent and hence enshrined with great
reverence in the Pancharatrastavam. The Vishnu Dharmottara brings
out effectively the glory of this Narasimha aspect, and Narasimha
Purvathapani Upanishad eulogises that it is with this aspect alone
the Almighty God appeared before Brahma and gave him the
mantra-Narasimha Anushtup that alone enabled him to give forth the
four Vedas. Moreover, without this no yantra Pratishta becomes
complete, as it is the basis of all yantras. Bhagavadgita, the song
celestial unfolds its efficacy in the 2nd chapter. Above ally
Arjuna's narration of his darsan of the Viswarupa embodies this fact
and confirms the validity of that Anushtup. So Narasimha is supreme
God and his nine aspects are most adorable, and they are seen here.
