Chintamani Sri Lakshmi Narasimha, Kadeshivalaya

Sri Vadirajaru praises Narasimha at Chintamani on the riverbank and recalls the Lord protecting Shiva by destroying hostile Yoginis. The passage is a clear Narasimha Kshetra reference. The reference is retained here in the sequence of Sri Vadirajaru's pilgrimage so that a pilgrim can connect the present-day sacred place with the Kshetra or Tirtha praised in the Tirtha Prabandha.

Sthala Purana: The local tradition tells of Sri Narasimha manifesting to protect Shiva from hostile Yoginis. The temple stands in the Netravati sacred geography. The place continues to be approached as a sacred destination in its regional pilgrimage tradition. The present guide therefore focuses on the principal deity, tirtha or sacred feature that a pilgrim can identify and visit today, without treating later local traditions as though every detail were stated by Sri Vadirajaru.
