Sri Kannan,

Not sure if you had already seen this, but found this note by Sri Murali
Rangaswamy under Sudarsana Vaibhavam in SaranAgathy Vol 1 Issue 008,
answering your question:

Quote-
The mighty Jwala also connotes the JwAlA Narasimhar aspect. The opening
salutation of the Mantrarajapada Stotram of the Ahirbudhnya Samhita, "Ugram
Veeram Mahavishnum Jwalantam Sarvatomukham I Nrusimham Bheeshanam Bhadram
Mrutyumrutyam NamAmyaham II", provdies eloquent testimony to this fact. Lord
Narasimha destroyed Hiranyakashipu in the form of JwAlA Narasimha bringing
instant relief (Pida Pariharam) to Prahlada from his sufferings. Therefore,
Lord Narasimha is considered to be resident in the Chakram. The presence of
the Sudarsana Chakram in the nails of Bhagavan Narasimha is indicated again
by Ahirbudhnyan in the Mantra Raaja Pada Stotram in the salutation "NakhAgrE
Shakalee ChakrE". Sudarsana and Lord Narasimha share deep rooted and
intimate connections. The joint worship of Sudarsana-Narasimha is prescribed
by both PaancharAtra and VaighAnasa Agamams. The Padma Samhita reports the
presence of Lord Narasimha with sixteen arms in the Sudarsana Yantram. Swami
Desikan glorifies the ShodasAyudha (sixteeen arms of Sudarsana, each bearing
a potent weapon) aspect of the Sudarsana Chakram in the ShodasAyudha
Stotram. These references point to the common features of the back-to-back
forms of Sudarsana and Narasimha. The back-to-back forms of Sudarsana
Narasimhar are seen in a single Peetam at the Srirangam Temple
(ChakrathAzhwAr Sannidhi). Sudarsana-Narasimha SaaLagramam provides further
testimony to the worship of this form of Lord Narasimhar.

What is the thathvam behind Chakkarathalvar, who is
always seen with Nrusimhar.We have Nrusimhar moolavar
alone, is there any place where Chakkarathalvar
moolavar is alone. Please clarify.
