पाद्मे पुराणे यत्प्रोक्तं नारसिंहोपवर्णनम् । तच्चाष्टादशसाहस्रं नारसिंहमिहोच्यते
pādme purāṇe yatproktaṃ nārasiṃhopavarṇanam | taccāṣṭādaśasāhasraṃ nārasiṃhamihocyate
ಪದ್ಮಪುರಾಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಲ್ಪಟ್ಟ ನರಸಿಂಹೋಪವರ್ಣನೆ ಅಷ್ಟಾದಶ ಸಹಸ್ರ (ಶ್ಲೋಕಗಳ) ಪ್ರಮಾಣದ್ದಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಅದನ್ನೇ ‘ನಾರಸಿಂಹ’ (ಪುರಾಣ/ಖಂಡ) ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ.
Sūta (deduced)
Scene: A manuscript scene where sages reference the Padma Purāṇa’s Narasiṃha narration; in a visionary overlay, Narasiṃha emerges—lion-faced, radiant—signifying the devotional core of the cited text.
Divine manifestations like Narasiṃha are preserved across Purāṇic corpora; naming and measure safeguard faithful transmission.
The verse sits within Prabhāsa-kṣetra Māhātmya but does not directly praise a single tīrtha.
None; it identifies a Narasiṃha-focused Purāṇic narration and its traditional extent.
