Lord Nrsimhadeva is easily accessible to the devotees and punishes those who are evil-minded. He is the savior for those who are helpless who desire to seek refuge in Him. When the demigods of innumerable planets bow down to His lotus feet, the bright jewels from their crowns are reflected on His toenails which gives the impression that lamps are being waved in front of them. Unto these lotus feet, Sanideva (the personification of the planet, Saturn) prostrated and prayed (in the court of Brahma).
