Nārasiṃhānuṣṭubhamantrārthanirūpaṇa (नारसिंहानुष्टुभमन्त्रार्थनिरूपण) (lit. “chapter dealing with the anuṣṭup-mantra on narasiṃha”) is the name of chapter 54-56 of the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā, a Pāñcarātra work in 60 chapters dealing with topics such as Viṣṇu’s discus-power, the processes of creation and esoteric practices related to Sudarśana (such as mantras and yantras).—Description of the chapter [nārasiṃhānuṣṭubhamantrārthanirūpaṇa]: Ahirhudhnya turns now to the nārasiṃhānuṣṭup-mantra, and endeavors here to explains part-by-part, its sthūla-significance in a way that is acceptable and/or adoptable to aspirants of any one of the five major schools of thought (namely: Sāṃkhya, Yoga, Pāñcarātra, Vedānta and Pāśupata ). For example, in treating the word “ugra”, he gives an etymology pointing to the widely-held notion that the world both emerges [“vomitted”] and disappears [“swallowed up”] during the periods of sarga and pralaya (17). The other words are treated in similar, if not somewhat more extended and complicated, ways (1-40). Toward the end (44-56a ) he gives the particular analysis of this mantra according to the Sāṃkhya school’s outlook.
