| Итог: | "Narasimha is one of the least studied major deities of Hinduism. Furthermore, there are limited studies of the history, thought, and literature of middle India. Lavanya Vemsani redresses this by exploring a range of primary sources, classical Sanskrit texts (puranas and epics), and regional accounts (sthalapuranas).
