Lord Nrsimhadeva
Narasimha Pranama
namas te narasimhaya, prahladahlada-dayine
hiranyakasipor vakshah, sila-tanka-nakhalaye
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto You, Lord Narasimhadeva. You are the giver of pleasure to Maharaja Prahlada, and Your nails cut the chest of Hiranyakashipu like a chisel cutting stone.”
ito narasimhah parato narasimho, yato yato yami tato narasimhah
bahir narasimho hrdaye narasimho, narasimham adim sharanam prapadye
“Lord Narasimhadeva is here, and He is also there on the opposite side. Wherever I go, there I see Lord Narasimhadeva. He is outside and within my heart. Therefore I take shelter of Lord Narasimhadeva, the original Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
Sri Jayadeva Goswami
tava kara-kamala-vare nakham adbhuta-shrngam
dalita-hiranyakashipu-tanu-bhrngam
keshava dhrta-narahari-rupa jaya jagadisa hare
“O my Lord, Your hands are very beautiful, like the lotus flower, but with Your long nails You have ripped apart the wasp Hiranyakashipu. Unto You, Lord of the universe, I offer my humble obeisance.”
12th Canto Predictions
Jesus
The New Testament does not give the names of the Magi. However, traditions and legends identify a variety of different names for them. In the Western Christian church, they have all been regarded as saints and are commonly known as:
Melchior
Caspar
Balthazar
"According to Western church tradition, Balthasar is often represented as a king of Arabia or sometimes Ethiopia, Melchior as a king of Persia, and Gaspar as a king of India." These names apparently derive from a Greek manuscript probably composed in Alexandria around 500, and which has been translated into Latin with the title Excerpta Latina Barbari. Another Greek document from the 8th century, of presumed Irish origin and translated into Latin with the title Collectanea et Flores, continues the tradition of three kings and their names and gives additional details.
