> References to Narasimha are found in a wide variety of the Puranic

scriptures, with seventeen versions of the main narrative[4], some in

more detail than others. The Bhagavata Purana (Canto 7), Agni Purana

(4.2-3), Brahmanda Purana (2.5.3-29), Vayu Purana (67.61-66),

Harivamsa (41 & 3.41-47), Brahma Purana (213.44-79),

Vishnudharmottara Purana (1.54), Kurma Purana (1.15.18-72) , Matsya

Purana (161-163), Padma Purana (Uttara-khanda 5.42), Shiva Purana

(2.5.43 & 3.10-12), Linga Purana (1.95-96), Skanda Purana 7 (2.18.60-

130) and Vishnu Purana (1.16-20) all contain depictions of the

Narasimha pastime. There is also a short reference in the Mahabharata

(3.272.56-60) and an Upanishad (Narasimha tapani Upanisad) named in

reference to him.
