Outline:
In this mime, we aim to enact the scene of Narasimha avatar of Lord
Vishnu.
Hiranyakashyaps character description:
Hiranyakashyap heard of his brother Hiranyakshs death. He was filled mill
anger and wanted to take revenge. He called all the evil kings, Asuras and
Daityas for a meeting. In the meeting, he picked up the trident and took an oath
to kill Lord Vishnu.
Then Hiranyakashyap ordered his army to go and kill every sage, Brahmin
or God loving person. Soon there was chaos all around as the Asuras and Daityas
went around burning and breaking ashrams of sages. He stood on the toe of his
right foot and did penance to please Lord Brahma. When Lord Brahma appeared
before Hiranyakashyap, he said, 0 Lord, kindly grant me the boon that I wont
die at the hands of any human, God, any Daitya or any Asura. If you are really
pleased with me that grant me the boon that no instrument or weapon can be
successful to kill me. Neither can I die at night nor at day. Also I will not die in the
sky or on earth.

The entry of Prahlad:

Hiranyakashyap had four sons. The youngest was named Prahlad. Shand
and Amark Acharya, Shukracharyas sons, were his gurus. They went to
Hiranyakashyap with a complaint, Your Majesty, your son does not study what
we teach him. All the time he is busy reciting Lord Vishnus
name.Hiranyakashyap at once called for Prahlad and asked him why he did so.
Prahlad replied, Father, Lord Vishnu is the protector of the whole universe that is
why I pray to him. I cannot worship like the others who follows your orders and
pray to you.
The scene of Lord Narasimha:
Then Hiranyakashyap asked Prahlad, ?Son, what do you like the most I
like to recite Lord Vishnus name the most Prahlad replied. Who do you think is
the strongest? asked Hiranyakashyap. Lord Vishnu, the protector is the
strongest.
Till now Hiranyakashyap had controlled his anger. He lost his temper and ordered
his guards to poison Prahlad. Prahlad drank the offered cup full of poison but he
did not die. Everyone was surprised to see the miracle.
Then Hiranyakashyap ordered that Prahlad must be tied to a large rock and
thrown into the sea to drown. But once again a miracle occurred. The ropes that
bound him came free and he walked out of the sea-waters reciting Lord Vishnus

name. Then Prahlad was made to sit on a burning pyre. But miraculously, the
flames touched his body and were extinghished. Prahlad sat unscathed.
Now Hiranyakashyap tied Prahlad to a pillar. He picked up the sword to cut off his
head. As he was about to use his sword, the Earth shock violently. The pillar
broke into pieces and a strange creature appeared. He was the Narasimha Avatar
of Lord Vishnu. He had the head of a lion and the torso of a human. He picked
Hiranyakashyap and laid him on his laps and positioned himself at the door post.
But Hiranyakashyap shouted, Whoever you are, you cannot kill me. I have such
a boon.

Climax:
Narasimha roared, It is neither day nor night, its evening. You are on my lap
which is neither on earth nor in the sky. I am neither human, nor god, nor an
Asura or a daitya. I am not using any instruments or weapons to kill you. I am
using my sharp nails to kill you. So I can kill you without showing any disrespect
to Lord Brahmas boon. Thus, Lord Vishnus Narasimha Avatar killed
Hiranyakashyap.
