Glory of Puruṣottama: Pañcatīrthī Observance and Narasiṃha Worship
नरसिंहस्य ये भक्त्या भवंति भुवि मानवाः । न तेषां दुष्कृतं किंचित्फलं च स्याद्यदीप्सितम् ॥ ७५ ॥
narasiṃhasya ye bhaktyā bhavaṃti bhuvi mānavāḥ | na teṣāṃ duṣkṛtaṃ kiṃcitphalaṃ ca syādyadīpsitam || 75 ||
Die Menschen auf Erden, die mit aufrichtiger Bhakti zu Verehrern Narasiṃhas werden: Keine ihrer bösen Taten trägt Frucht, und jedes ersehnte Heil wird vollendet.
Narada (teaching in the Uttara-Bhaga discourse)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It teaches that wholehearted devotion to Lord Narasiṃha neutralizes the operative “fruit” of wrongdoing and grants the devotee’s rightful desired results, emphasizing divine protection and grace.
Bhakti is presented as a direct, transformative refuge: by becoming Narasiṃha’s devotee, one’s karmic obstacles lose their power to produce harmful outcomes, while auspicious aims are fulfilled through the Lord’s favor.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa-ritual procedure) is taught in this verse; the focus is on bhakti-phala doctrine—how devotion alters karmic results.
