Re: Lord Narasimha

Dear Sri Parakaalan,
Following comes to my mind as an answer, please padron me if I am not clear. Lord took these avataras under different circumstances and at different times too. One could not wait for the other as there was a long time gap. Lord took Varaha avararam to protect Bhudevi from captivity of HiranyaakShan. She called for help. So per lord's statement " paritraNam sAdHoonam......" he took that avataram to protect dharma. Varaha being a very strong animal to excavate any thing burried, it was an apt form to take to rescue Bhudevi burried deep in muds below the sea.
In case of Narasimha avaratam, Parhaladan did not call for help. Lord took the most complicated avataram to make his bhakta's words about omnipresense of god come true.
