|smti= | |smti=Narasimha is the avatar of Vishnu, a deity in Hinduism. The story goes that Vishnu had killed the [[Asura]] Hiranyaksha. Hiranyaksha's brother Hiranyakashipu was angered by this, and vowed to kill Vishnu. To do so he must gain immense mystical powers, which he believed will be given by [[Brahma]] if he underwent many years of penance. Brahma was pleased with Hiranyakashipu's efforts and granted him a boon, in which he asked for protection from death by human, deity or animal in any space by any weapon in any time. With the boon he attempted to kill Vishnu, but Vishnu took upon the avatar of Narasimha - part deity, part animal - and managed to slay Hiranyakashipu. | ||
