Mahavatar Narsimha

Mahavatar Narsimha

Sage Kashyapa is approached by a desperate Diti for children, to which Kashyapa protests that it is an inauspicious hour where demonic entities along with their master, Shiva, roam the skies. However, Diti remains stubborn, and Kashyapa reluctantly agrees. However, the next morning, Kashyapa tell Diti that since she approached him during an inauspicious hour, she shall give birth to two ferocious demons who shall provoke enmity with the gods, terrorize their devotees, and eventually be slain by Vishnu himself when their sins reach their height, much to Diti's distress. As prophesized by Kashyapa, Diti ends up giving birth to two demonic sons, Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha, who are later instructed under the guidance of Shukra, the guru of demons. The younger brother, Hiranyaksha, kidnaps Bhumi and imprisons her under the Causal Ocean to provoke Vishnu, throwing the world into chaos. The deities desperately seek Vishnu's assistance, to which Vishnu subsequently takes the form of Varaha—a colossal, divine boar—and engages Hiranyaksha in battle. Varaha rescues Bhudevi and kills Hiranyaksha in the subsequent duel. Hiranyakashipu attacks Vishnu's devotees and retreats into the Himalayas for deep tapasya in order to obtain a boon of his choice from Brahma to be able to deal with Vishnu.
