Bhakt Prahlad & Holika

There was a mighty demon king named Hirnakashyipu who had won all the three worlds of heaven, earth and hell and had thus, become very proud. He assumed that he could defeat even Lord Vishnu with his valor. He went to the extent that he had enforced a law that everybody would worship him instead of gods and deities. However, his little son Prahlad refused to accept his commands and continued to worship Lord Vishnu with complete devotion. Infuriated by this defiance of his son, he ordered his soldiers to throw him down a hill. Praying fervently and having full faith in Lord Vishnu, Prahlad did not retract from his word. True to his faith, Lord Vishnu rescued him at the last moment.

Flustered by this news, Hirnakashyipu invoked the help of his sister Holika, who had a boon that she could walk through the fire unharmed to do away with his son. The wicked aunt agreed to the evil desires of his brother and entered the fire with her nephew Prahlad. However, the brother and sister had forgot that Holika could only enter the fire alone or she would perish. Thus, blessed by Lord Vishnu, the child Prahlad remained unharmed but Holika got burnt and died instantly.

Holi is thus celebrated to commemorate the death of the evil aunt, after whom the festival is named, and the new life granted to Prahlad for his devotion and faith.

74 forms / Fight Evolved From this

The Vihagendra-samhita (4.17) of the Pancharatra-Agama enumerates more than seventy forms of Nrisingha. Most of these forms are distinguished by the arrangements of weapons in the hands, His different postures, or other subtle distinctions.

Of these seventy-four, nine are very prominent (Nava-vyuha-Nrisingha):

(1) Ugra-Nrisingha
(2) Kruddha-Nrisingha
(3) Vira-Nrisingha
(4) Vilamba-Nrisingha
(5) Kopa-Nrisingha
(6) Yoga-Nrisingha
(7) Aghora-Nrisingha
(8) Sudarsana-Nrisingha
(9) Laksmi-narasima

In Ahobila, Andhra Pradesh, the nine forms are as follows:

(1) Chhatra-vata-Nrisingha (seated under a banyan tree)
(2) Yogananda-Nrisingha (who blessed Lord Brahma)
(3) Karanja-Nrisingha
(4) Uha-Nrisingha
(5) Ugra-Nrisingha
(6) Kroda-Nrisingha
(7) Malola-Nrisingha (With Laksmi on His lap)
(8) Jvala-Nrisingha (an eight armed form rushing out of the pillar)
(9) Pavana-Nrisingha (who blessed the sage Bharadvaja)

Other forms are as follows:

Stambha-Nrisingha (coming out of the pillar)
Svayam-Nrisingha (manifesting on His own)
Grahana-Nrisingha (catching hold of the demon)
Vidarana-Nrisingha (ripping open of the belly of the demon)
Samhara-Nrisingha (killing the demon)

The following three refer to His ferocious aspect:

Ghora-Nrisingha
Ugra-Nrisingha
Chanda-Nrisingha
Jvala-Nrisingha (with a flame-like mane)
Laksmi-Nrisingha (where Laksmi pacifies Him)
Prasada-Nrisingha or Prahlada-varada-Nrisingha (His benign aspect of protecting Prahlada)
Chhatra-Nrisingha (seated under a parasol of a five-hooded serpent)
Yoga-Nrisingha or Yogesvara-Nrisingha (in meditation)
Avesha-Nrisingha (a frenzied form)
Attahasa-Nrisingha (a form that roars horribly and majestically strides across to destroy evil)
Chakra-Nrisingha (with only a discus in hand)
Brahma-Nrisingha, Vishnu-Nrisingha, and Rudra-Nrisingha
Prthvi-Nrisingha, Vayu-Nrisingha, Akasa-Nrisingha, Jvalana-Nrisingha, and
Amrta-Nrisingha (representing the five elements)
Pusthi Nrisingha (worshipped for overcoming evil influences)

There are still other varieties which are standing, riding on Garuda, alone, in company, benign, ferocious, and multi-armed (two-sixteen). All of these forms point to the diversity in transcendence of the Nrisingha-Avatara.

Nrisingha forms in general:

Kevala-Nrisingha  - Nrisinghadeva alone (with 2 or 4 hands), standing.
Girija-Nrisingha  - coming out of a mountain cave, seated.
