##COMMENTS:-
This poem is addressed to Lord LakShmi Narasimha at the temple in Cholasimhapuram - popularly known as Sholingapuram. The place is about 125 km. from Chennai, the capital of Tamilnadu state.  It is also known as Ghatikachalam. The Lord has been sung by vaishnavite devotees known as Alwars. There are two hills in the village. The taller one has the temple of Shri LakShmi Narasimha.  On the smaller hill we can have the darshan of Anjaneya. The village is surrounded by lush green forests which are said to contains medicinal herbs. So, a stay in this place to have darshan of the Lord is conducive to both spiritual and physical well-being.  It is said that after the Lord appeared to cofirm His devotee Prahlada's assertion that He is present every where and in everything and killed the demon king Hiranyakashipu He was about to wind up the act.  The sages who were assembled there to witness the unique event were immensely moved by Lord's grace and His wonderful form . The Bhagavata Purana describes the form as most wonderful.##adR^ishyata atyadbhutarUpa.n udvahan stambe sabhAyA.n na mR^iga.n na mAnuSham.## Please note the use of the word ##atyadbhuta rUpam## "most wonderful" to describe the form of Narasimha.  The Purana does not use such an adjective to describe any other of Lord's avatara includong that of Shri Krishna which the Purana covers at great length. Krishna, at His birth, is described as just ##adbhutaM bAlaka.n## (i.e.) wonderful child. This shows the uniqness of Narasimha avatar. So, the sages who have the welfare of others always in their heart requested the Lord to make available His form for the benefit of all. The kindly Lord acceded to their request and stayed in this place Sholingapuram. This is a place of pilgrimage and is visited regularly by large number of people.
