Lakṣmīnṛsiṃha (लक्ष्मीनृसिंह) refers to one of the many varieties of the Śālagrāma (ammonite fossil stones).—The Lakṣmī-nṛsiṃha is black in colour; wide opening (vistṛtāsya); two cakras on the left side; two spots; vanamālā mark. Śālagrāma stones are very ancient geological specimens, rendered rounded and smooth by water-currents in a great length of time. They (e.g., Lakṣmī-nṛsiṃha stones) are distinguished by the ammonite (śālā, described as “vajra-kīṭa”, “adamantine worms”) which having entered into them for residence, are fossilized in course of time, leaving discus-like marks inside the stone.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
