In his fourth incarnation, Lord Vishnu took the form of Narasimha by mixing the forms of human and lion. Lord Narasimha proved that no one can harm those who have unwavering faith in God. Seeing the strong devotion and belief of the devotee Prahlada, God protected him, no matter how big the danger is. God took this avatar especially because Hiranyakashipu had a boon that he would not die through any human, animal, day or night, in or outside, weapon or any other means.
