Lord Nṛsiṃha said:: O dear, go back to that place wherefrom you have come. Do not be presumptuous enough to advise me what is beneficial to me. I shall now annihilate this universe of the mobile and immobile beings. There can’t be the annihilation of the annihilator at his own hands or from others. My sway extends everywhere. There is none to boss over me. Thanks to my favour that everything functions within limits. I alone am the instigator and restrainer of all Śaktis. O Gaṇādhyakṣa (presiding deity over the Gaṇas), know that everything that is glorious, rich, powerful and energetic in the world is a display of my splendour.[3] Those who are conversant with the reality of deities know that I alone am the greatest deity. Brahma, Indra and other Devas who are equipped with power are my parts. The four-faced deity Brahmā was born out of my umbilical lotus formerly. The bull-bannered lord originated out of his forehead. The creator is well-endowed with Rajo-Guṇa; Rudra is called Tāmasa (abounding in Tamo-Guṇa). I am the restrainer and controller of everything. There is no deity greater than myself.
