 93. "SIMHAGNA MOORTHY"

           "Narasimha" is one of the notable incornation of deity "Maha Vishnu" who  killed Hiranya kasibu, a demon with great powers with lot of boons. “Narasimha" means human and lion in one form. After the killing of Hiranya Kasibu Lord Vishnu forgot his origin of place called "Vaikundha" And remained in that form of "Narasimha" firmly. So the great task of protection to man-hood affected to the extend of unbearable sufferings. By that time Lord Shiva killed Narasimha and reminded him his duties, so as to take care of earthly affairs. In this facet Lord Shiva appears in strange form, of a combination of human and animal and a bird. Lord adorns on his shoulders the skin of lion. Recalling Lord Maha Vishnu to his duties is the main subject to be understood by the devotees.
