Lord Nrshimadeva is the personification of soft-heartedness. That is particularly the manifestation of the Lord of soft-heartedness because why did he become roaring mad?? Out of his deep affection for Prahlada... out of deep affection for his devotee. So actually the external thing is His anger but the real thing is His deep love for His devotee. For me that is an important point in my relationship with Nrshimadeva that He came due to soft-heartedness - because then one can go beyond the fearsome... nails like thunderbolts and teeth like thunderbolts!
