ABOUT THE BOOK 

The Narasimha Purana is one of the important Upapuranas (minor Puranas) of the Vaishnava tradition. This edition, edited and translated by K. L. Joshi and Bindiya Trivedi, provides a clear Sanskrit text alongside an English translation. The Purana is primarily dedicated to the glories and exploits of Lord Narasimha, the fourth avatar of Vishnu—the half-man, half-lion incarnation.

While the central theme revolves around the destruction of the demon king Hiranyakashipu, the text is encyclopedic in nature. It covers the creation of the universe (Sarga), the genealogies of gods and sages, descriptions of various solar and lunar dynasties, and detailed instructions on Bhakti Yoga, temple worship, and ethical conduct.
