Narasimha Purana

One of the 18 Upapuranas (~220 chapters, ~11,000 verses). Entirely devoted to Vishnu's Narasimha avatar — the man-lion who erupts from a pillar to protect the supreme devotee Prahlada. The definitive treatise on fearlessness (abhaya): the one who surrenders completely to the divine has nothing left to fear. Covers the Narasimha-kavacham, the Prahlada-charitra, the hundred names of Narasimha, and the teaching that abhaya-danam (giving fearlessness to all beings) is the fastest path to liberation.
