नृसिंह यज्ञवाराह गोपगोपालवल्लभ । गोपीपते गुणातीत गरुडध्वज गोत्रभृत्
nṛsiṃha yajñavārāha gopagopālavallabha | gopīpate guṇātīta garuḍadhvaja gotrabhṛt
يا نَرَسِمْهَا؛ يا يَجْنَ-فَرَاهَا، تجسّدَ الخنزيرِ البريّ الذي يقيمُ القربان؛ يا محبوبَ الرعاةِ وحاميَ الأبقار—يا ربَّ الغوبيات، يا من هو فوقَ الغونات؛ يا صاحبَ رايةِ غارودا، يا رافعَ الجبل (غوفاردانا).
Vyāsa (deduced from Adhyāya context)
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pilgrim-devotee seeking protection and devotion in Kāśī
Scene: A triptych-like vision: Narasiṃha fierce and protective; Varāha lifting earth with sacrificial symbols; and Gopāla with cows and gopīs—above them Garuḍa banner; Govardhana lifted in the background as ‘gotrabhṛt’.
The Lord protects dharma in many forms (avatāras) and yet remains beyond the guṇas; devotion recognizes both His play (līlā) and His cosmic sovereignty.
Kāśī is the textual setting; the verse itself is primarily avatāra-stuti rather than a direct tirtha description.
None stated; implied is nāma-japa of avatāra names for protection and purification.
