TRANSLATION
Lord Nrsimhadeva’s mouth and mane were sprinkled with drops
of blood, and His fierce eyes, full of anger, were impossible to look
at. Licking the edge of His mouth with His tongue, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Nrsirnhadeva, decorated with a garland of
intestines taken from HiranyakaSipu’s abdomen, resembled a lion
that has just killed an elephant.
PURPORT
The hair on Lord Nrsitnhadeva’s face, being sprinkled with drops of
blood, was reddish and looked very beautiful. Lord Nrsitnhadeva pierced
Hiranyakasipu’s abdomen with His nails, pulled out the demon’s in-
testines and wore them as a garland, which enhanced His beauty. Thus
the Lord became very fearsome, like a lion engaged in fighting an
elephant.
