Om Narasimhaaya Namaha
About Narasimha
As Lord assumes the form of man and lion, He is called 'Narasimha'.
He holds the Lotus and Club in His upper left and right hands, and the Conch and Disc in His lower left and right hands.
He is the governing power of the letter 'Yo' of the Gayathri Mantra, 'Gandha Tattva' — one of the 24 Tattvas — and the Urdhvapundra marked on the right shoulder during the dark half of the lunar month, condiments made of white gourd, gingelly seed and common pulse, and the north-east quarter.
He dwells in the 'Svarupadeha' of all beings, in Vayudeva named Vanmaya, in the tuft on the half-left of the crown of the head, in the organ of smell, and in the beverage made of jaggery and sugar. He is to be meditated upon while suffering from fever and while in the midst of a forest.
