### SB 1.3.18

> चतुर्दशं नारसिंहं बिभ्रद्दैत्येन्द्रमूर्जितम् ।\
> ददार करजैरूरावेरकां कटकृद्यथा ॥१८॥

> caturdaśaṁ nārasiṁhaṁ\
> bibhrad daityendram ūrjitam\
> dadāra karajair ūrāv\
> erakāṁ kaṭa-kṛd yathā

*caturdaśam*—the fourteenth in the line; *nāra-siṁham*—the incarnation of the Lord as half-man and half-lion; *bibhrat*—advented; *daitya-indram*—the king of the atheists; *ūrjitam*—strongly built; *dadāra*—bifurcated; *karajaiḥ*—by the nails; *ūrau*—on the lap; *erakām*—canes; *kaṭa-kṛt*—carpenter; *yathā*—just like.

**In the fourteenth incarnation, the Lord appeared as Nṛsiṁha and bifurcated the strong body of the atheist Hiraṇyakaśipu with His nails, just as a carpenter pierces cane.**
