SrI:

Dear BhakthAs Of Sri Hari NaarAyaNan :

Today we will study Eight  more slOkams of MaangaLya Sthavam .
Before coverage of the individual slOkams , let us recite Swamy Desikan's
wonderous description of NrusimhAvathAram from the pillar in 
the dharbhAr of HiraNyakasipu (DasAvathAra SthOthram: 5th slOkam) :

prathyAdhishDa purAthana praharaNa grAma: kshaNam paaNijai:
avyAth threeNi jaganthyakuNDa mahimA VaikunDakaNDeerava:
Yath-prAdhurbhavanAth avandhya jaDarA yAthrucchikAth VedasAm
Yaa Kaachith sahasA MahAsura-gruha-sTUNA pithAmahyabhUth   

(Meaning) : May the Lord with undefeatable power and unmatched
Vaibhavam incarnating as Narasimha BhagavAn protect the beings of
all the three worlds ! In this avathAram , His weapon -- the nails of His hands 
--
became all powerful and rejected in a second all the other traditional 
weapons (Chakram , Nandhakam , Mace et al) to tear the chest of
HiraNyan apart . Through this sudden and unexpected appearance of
the Lord from the pillar at the great king's (HiraNyan's) sabhA ,
He removed the infertility of that stone pillar and made it claim
the title of the Mother of all Brahma dEvaas (BrahmA is known as
PithAmahan . The Pillar by giving birth to Lord Narasimha became 
the Mother of the PithAmahan ).
