CC Adi 17.90: One day the Lord ordered Srivasa Thakura to read the Brihat-sahasra-nama [the thousand names of Lord Vishnu], for He wanted to hear them at that time.

CC Adi 17.91: As he read the thousand names of the Lord, in due course the holy name of Lord Nrisimha appeared. When Caitanya Mahaprabhu heard the holy name of Lord Nrisimha, He became fully absorbed in thought.

CC Adi 17.92: In the mood of Lord Nrisimhadeva, Lord Caitanya ran through the city streets, club in hand, ready to kill all the atheists.

CC Adi 17.93: Seeing Him appearing very fierce in the ecstasy of Lord Nrisimha, people ran from the street and fled here and there, afraid of His anger.

CC Adi 17.94: Seeing the people so afraid, the Lord came to His external senses and thus returned to the house of Srivasa Thakura and threw away the club.

CC Adi 17.95: The Lord became morose and said to Srivasa Thakura, "When I adopted the mood of Lord Nrisimhadeva, people were greatly afraid. Therefore I stopped, since causing fear among people is an offense."

CC Adi 17.96: Srivasa Thakura replied, "Anyone who takes Your holy name vanquishes ten million of his offenses immediately.

CC Adi 17.97: "There was no offense in Your appearing as Nrisimhadeva. Rather, any man who saw You in that mood was immediately liberated from the bondage of material existence."
