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. -Unquote -adiyEn Sriram -----Original Message----- From: Kannan P.
