Narasiṃhapratiṣṭhā (नरसिंहप्रतिष्ठा) refers to the “installation of the Narasiṃha-form of the Lord”, as discussed in chapter 29 (Kriyāpāda) of the Padmasaṃhitā: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter—jñāna, yoga, kriyā and caryā) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—Description of the chapter [mīnādi-pratiṣṭhā]: When special forms of the Lord are installed, particular alterations are called for during the sanctifying pratiṣṭhā ceremonies. For example: for Narasiṃha a special mantra also is required (86-10); [...] For none of these is it necessary to do nyāsas (32b-42) as required at a certain point for other installations. [...]
