SVS 216 [Durmarshana: 207] (22.8)-

207. OM DURMARSHANAYA NAMA: दुर्मर्शणाया नम:
Enemies like Hiranyakasipu, can not bear Him.

Today's [19th December 2008] Divine name Durmarshana is being studied at the sannidhi of Sri Jwala Narasimha [ज्वाला नरसिम्ह]. Durmarshana suggests that the might of the Lord is so great that enemies could never bear it, out of fear. Hiranya, short form for Hiranyakasipu, also means gold. Just as gold is put in fire to refine it, this demon also was put into the Fire of Sri Narasimha. Therefore, He is Jwala or Fire. To reach this sannidhi one has to climb steep hill and pass through very narrow paths. With all such physical hardships, it is worth a visit in one's lifetime. River Bhavanasini is falling from a height and bridge is constructed to cross and reach the sannidhi. The Lord appears with Hiranyakasipu, on His lap, being torn and killed.

Parantapa also means He causes enemies to struggle. The Divine name Jwalantam in Mantra Rajan is dedicated to Sri Jwala Narasimha.
