To prove that the statement of his devotee Prahlada Maharaj was substantial - in other words, to prove that the Supreme Lord is present everywhere, even within the pillar of an assembly hall - the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, exhibited a wonderful form never before seen. The form was neither that of a man nor that of a lion. Thus the Lord appeared in his wonderful form in the assembly hall.~Srimad Bhagavatam, 7.8.17This murthi of Shodasha Bahu (16 armed) Ugra Narasimha with claws, tearing apart the Asura King, Hiranyakashipu is carved on a pillar attached to the eastern exterior walls sorrounding the garbhagriha of the Chennakeshava temple, Belur.Hiranyakashipu the asura being killed by Narasimha, neither indoors nor outdoors (on a threshold), neither in day or night (at twilight), neither in space nor on the ground (on his lap), by neither man nor animal (half man, half lion) by neither animate nor inanimate (his claws) The chainlike things are Asura's intestines. It is stunning to note how the most profound details like the sharp tooth and the fingernails digging into flesh have been depicted.
