Hiranyakashipu is dead, but the man-lion's anger goes on burning and the worlds shake. The gods go to Shiva, who sends Virabhadra. Virabhadra praises Narasimha and asks him to put away the terrible form; Narasimha reaches out to seize him. Then Shiva himself appears as Sharabha, with wings, a beak, three eyes and a thousand arms, binds the lion with his tail and lifts him as a vulture lifts a snake. Narasimha, subdued, praises Shiva with a hundred and eight names, and from then on Shiva wears the man-lion's skin.

In the Bhagavata no one can go near the angry lion. The gods keep their distance, and Lakshmi, who has never seen him so, is afraid. Brahma sends the boy Prahlada. He walks up, falls at the lion's feet, and Narasimha lifts him and lays a hand on his head, and the anger goes. Vaishnava tellings in the south answer Sharabha with the Gandabherunda, a two-headed bird Vishnu becomes to subdue him; it is the emblem of the Mysore kings and of Karnataka.

After the battle Narasimha stays in the Nallamala hills, where he falls in love with a girl of the Chenchu hunters; her people make him prove himself at their own work before he can marry her, and the Chenchus still sing the wedding.
Twice a year, at the end of the Painkuni and Alpassi festivals, the images of Padmanabhaswamy, Narasimha and Krishna are carried from the temple to the sea at Shanghumugham, across the runway of Thiruvananthapuram's international airport, which closes for the evening.
The asura boy Prahlada survives his father's every attempt to kill him; Vishnu bursts from a pillar as Narasimha and kills Hiranyakashipu in a way that slips past every clause of his boon.
At a gathering Shiva stays seated when Daksha enters; Daksha reads it as contempt.
The Rigveda's herdsman god who finds the lost and eats gruel, and the later explanations of the gruel by his lost teeth.
Indra, serving Prahlada as a brahmin, asks for his conduct as a boon, and one by one Righteousness, Truth, Good deeds, Might and last of all Shri walk out of the asura king. In another book Shri leaves Bali's body before Indra's eyes and tells him why.
Hiranyakashipu performs long austerities to win power over the gods.
In north Malabar the man-lion's killing of Hiranyakashipu is not read but danced, by a performer who is believed to become the god.
