Sharabh Avtaar
Shiva’s Sharabha Avatar: Lord Shiva is considered the god of destruction. Whereas Lord Vishnu is the sustainer of the world. According to the scriptures of Sanatan Dharma, both these gods are the two great powers of the world. Not only this, both are ardent devotees of each other, but there is a mythological story in which these two divine powers come face to face to protect the universe. At that time Mahadev had taken Sharabha incarnation. The Sharabha incarnation of Shiva is related to Narasimha Dev, the fierce form of Lord Vishnu. Let us know this mythological story in detail.
According to this story described in Shiva Purana, Mahadev had taken Sharabha incarnation to calm the anger of Lord Narasimha. Sharabha incarnation is included in the most powerful and mysterious incarnations of Lord Shiva. Sharabha incarnation was half lion, half bird and had eight legs. According to the story. Demon king Hiranyakashyap was committing atrocities in all three worlds. To end this, Lord Vishnu took the incarnation of Narasimha.
Gods prayed to Lord Shiva
Lord Vishnu’s body was half of a lion and half of a male. However, even after the destruction of the demon, the anger of Lord Narasimha did not subside. His anger was so intense that even the gods and sages got scared. Everyone started worrying that if God’s anger was not appeased, the world could be destroyed. Then all the gods came together to seek refuge in Lord Shiva and prayed to him to save the world from the wrath of Narasimha Dev.
Mahadev first sent his incarnation Veerbhadra to Lord Narasimha to handle the situation. Veerbhadra requested him to calm down, but Lord Narasimha did not calm down. When all efforts failed, Lord Shiva took Sharabha incarnation to save the universe. In religious scriptures, the form of Sharabha incarnation has been considered very huge and impressive. They had huge wings and extremely powerful claws.
Sharabh Avtaar fought with Narasimha Dev
After Sharabha Avatar and Lord Narasimha came face to face, there was a fierce conflict between the two. According to Shiv Purana, Sharabha Dev controlled Lord Narasimha with his power. He picked them up in his paws and took them towards the sky. Then gradually his anger subsided. After this he understood that Lord Narasimha Mahadev had created this entire leela for the balance and protection of the universe. He bowed to Lord Shiva and went to Baikuntha Dham.
