Lord Vishnu took avatar of Lord Narasimha, to save his devotee Prahlad and as the 4th avatar of
Lord Vishnu. Narasimha is half-man and half-lion, having a human-like torso and lower body, with a
lion-like face and claws.
After killing Hiranyakashyp, none of the devis or devtas were able to calm Narasimha's fury and that time Narasimha started to create destruction but no one including Goddess Lakshmi, could calm him down . After listening to the request of all Devas, Lord Shiva decided to calm and Tame Lord Narasimha. Then, Lord Shiva took a form and incarnated as Sharabha, Sarabeshwara, to tame
Narasimha. His form was Part of Bird and Part of Lion also called Sharabeshwaramurti. This fierce
form of Lord Shiva, Sarabeshwara was an eight-legged beast, mightier than a lion and elephant
and which can kill the lion. But this was not the end after Lord Shiva (Sharbha) taming Narasimha,
then again Vishnu ji assumed the form of the ferocious Gandaberunda bird-animal to combat Lord
Shiva, Sharabha the super power.
The Linga Purana and Sharabha Upanishad also mention this mutation of Narasimha and Gandaberuda. After Narasimha avatar got tamed by Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu could not calm himself, got angry and again took the form of Gandaberuda. Gandaberuda having two heads, rows of teeth, black in complexion and wide wings. The destructive energy of Narasimha as Gandaberuda (Vishnu) in form of two headed bird began to fight fiercely with Lord Sharbha (Lord Shiva) for eighteen days. It was due to the powerful efforts of Goddess Soolini, that both of them calmed down and assumed their usual forms, much to the delight of the entire Universe. The purpose of Lord Shiva assuming the form of Sharabha was to ensure that the lion body of Vishnu was discarded and he got united with His original divine form.
