Siwa Sarabha
In English
After successfully killing the Giant Hiranyakasipu by drinking its blood and tearing its body apart, Narasinga became uncontrollable. He made a mess everywhere.
Several Gods tried to stop him but to no avail. Even Lakshmi as the wife of Lord Vishnu could not calm him down. Lord Shiva then sent Virabhadra to face Narasinga. However, the strength and supernatural powers of Lord Shiva's best troops were no match for Narasinga. Hence he easily defeated Virabhadra.
Shiva then descended to Earth in the form of Sarabha to confront Narasinga. Narasinga was defeated, and Lord Vishnu never again took the form of an animal or a half-human while he was an avatar.
