harivamsha Parva, ch 104, bori ce mahabharata

Krishna expresses his love for arjun so freely even I was taken aback while reading it😭😭, it came outta nowhere.

Krishna was like: *philosophical rambling**philosophical rambling* "I love you arjuna and you love me:3" *continues philosophical rambling*

On this Nṛsiṁha Caturdaśī, I do not come composed

I come trembling, open, undone.

Before Narasimha, the One who bursts through stone, through silence, through the last illusion of safety

I lay down everything I cannot protect.

Lord of the threshold,

You who are neither day nor night, neither inside nor outside

appear in the spaces where I hide from myself.

Tear through the walls I have built in fear.

Break the false shelters I cling to.

If there is anything within me that stands against truth,

remove it without mercy.

Protect me not only from the world,

but from the darkness I carry quietly.

From doubt that whispers.

From attachments that bind.

From forces seen and unseen that drain my spirit.

Sit at the doorway of my heart like fire

fierce, awake, impossible to ignore.

Let no harm enter without Your knowing.

Let no illusion survive Your gaze.

I do not ask for comfort

I ask for You.

If I must be broken, let it be by Your hands.

If I must be remade, let it be in Your image of fearlessness.

O Nṛsiṁha, protector of the surrendered
