<div class="purport text"><p>The goddess of fortune is always embraced by Lord Nṛsiṁha-deva. This is mentioned in the commentary on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam written by the great commentator Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī. The following verse was composed by Śrīdhara Svāmī in his commentary on the Tenth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (10.87.1):</p>
:vāg-īśā yasya vadane lakṣmīr yasya ca vakṣasi
:yasyāste hṛdaye samvit taṁ nṛsiṁham ahaṁ bhaje
<p>"Lord Nṛsiṁha-deva is always assisted by Sarasvatī, the goddess of learning, and He is always embracing the goddess of fortune to His chest. The Lord is always complete in knowledge within Himself. Let us offer obeisances unto Nṛsiṁha-deva."</p>
<p>Similarly, in his commentary on the First Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (1.1.1), Śrīdhara Svāmī describes Lord Nṛsiṁha-deva in this way:</p>
:prahlāda-hṛdayāhlādaṁ bhaktāvidyā-vidāraṇam
:śarad-indu-ruciṁ vande pārīndra-vadanaṁ harim
<p>"Let me offer my obeisances unto Lord Nṛsiṁha-deva, who is always enlightening Prahlāda Mahārāja within his heart and who always kills the nescience that attacks the devotees. His mercy is distributed like moonshine, and His face is like that of a lion. Let me offer my obeisances unto Him again and again."</p>
