SHREE NAR-SINGH/ NAR-SIMHA ( Nar-human & Singh/Simha-Lion). As per Sanaatan,
The 4th incarnation of Shree Vishnu as per hymn 1.154 of Rigveda,  Vaikhanasas, Sri Vaishnavism, Madhwa Brahmins. .
The one who generates even from in-animate pillar, as a destroyer of evil/ enemy of compassion,  he opts the torso of a human with dreadful head and claws of a Lion to tear apart the demon Hiranyakashap.

.. (Endowed with his demonic powers, Hiranyakashap persecutes all who are theists in the name of Lord Vishnu including his own son Prahlad.
.  His powers by which he could not be killed during the day or night, under a roof or outside, by any weapon and by man or animal.


To which Lord comes up as Nar-Singh (neither man, nor animal), holds the demon on his lap at the entrance of the palace(neither in, nor out), while the sun sets(neither day nor night), with the claws(no weapons)). . . "One reason why Sanaatan believes to treasure and worship even the smallest in-animate and living creature in the universe, as each of it depicts the presence of Lord in itself".
