Origin & History
Source: Traditional Vaishnava Narasimha Pranama (third verse from Jayadeva's Dashavatara Stotra)
Author: Traditional; third verse by Sri Jayadeva Goswami
Period: Traditional / Puranic; Jayadeva's verse c. 12th century CE
Lord Narasimha is the fourth avatar of Vishnu, who burst forth from a pillar in his fierce half-man, half-lion form to slay the demon-king Hiranyakashipu — who could be killed neither by man nor beast, by day nor night, indoors nor outdoors — and to protect his young devotee Prahlada. These pranama verses, recited throughout the Vaishnava world, offer loving obeisance to the Lord whose claws tore the demon apart, and affirm his protective presence everywhere. The third verse is drawn from Sri Jayadeva's celebrated Dashavatara Stotra.
