- Sri Nrusimha Panchakam Sri Vishnu Puranam

K. Muralidharan (kmurali_sg@yahoo.com) 1

The following is a rare hymn on Lord Nrusimha by Prahlada from Vishnu Puranam and

Chapter 20. This hymn was recited by Prahlada when he was subjected to extreme tribulation

such as being hurled to the bottom of ocean with rocks piled on top by his father

Hiranyakashipu for worshipping Lord Vishnu instead of him. Pleased with this hymn, Lord

Nrusimha appeared before him and requested Prahlada to seek a boon. Prahalada sought

forgiveness for his father which was duly granted along with liberation for Prahlada.
