Narasimha cuts Asura

At another time, the mighty Lord, assuming a wonderful form with a body half lion, half man, and squeezing his
hands, repaired to the court of the ruler of the Daityas. That progenitor of the Daityas, the son of Diti,
who was the enemy of the (gods), beholding the Lord's peculiar form, burst out into passion and his eyes
became inflamed with rage. And Hiranya-Kasipu, the war-like son of Diti and the enemy of the gods,
adorned with garlands and looking like a mass of dark clouds, taking up his trident in hand and roaring
like the clouds, rushed on that being half lion, half man. Then that powerful king of wild beasts, half
man, half lion, taking a leap in the air, instantly rent the Daitya in twain by means of his sharp claws.
And the adorable lotus-eyed Lord of great effulgence, having thus slain the Daitya king for the wellbeing of all creatures, again took his birth in the womb of Aditi as son of Kasyapa.
