See English translation here.Īdi Sankara in his commentary on the NPTU There he says that the Lord Nrisimha is three-eyed and is referred to by names commonly used for the Lord Shiva such as pinAkI and nIlakaNTha "tasmāt nṛsiṃhaḥ parameśvaraḥ trinetraḥ nīlakaṇṭhaḥ pinākī iti siddham" The NPTU is pre-Sankaran as Sankara himself has written a commentary on it. Nrisimha-Purva-Tapaniya Upanisad (NPTU) refers to Narasimha as three-eyed one and also as Mrityumrityu. This is supported in various places including Shruti, Smriti and works of Acharyas (whether or not they subscribe to Vishishtadvaita philosophy). Accordingly, Sri Vaishnavas interpret tryambaka - the three-eyed one as Narasimha. Lord Narasimha is described as Mrityumrityu (Death's death) in the Nrisimha Mantra.
