That form with nails like thunderbolts, that form with golden manes- golden-white manes- that are decorated with drops of blood, that form is the soft hearted form of the Lord. In that form the Lord is showing His extraordinary soft hearted nature. Therefore Nrsimhadeva is extremely gentle and extremely soft because He appeared particularly in great anger when His devotee was being attacked. So it shows actually the soft heartedness of the Lord and I like to meditate on Lord Nrsimhadeva in that mood…
