Dear Gaia,

may be this link is helpful? It is a thesis from 1984:

Dear list members, 

I am examining a small recent (20th c.?) 

palm-leaf manuscript that reproduces the first 

prabandha of the first sarga of Jayadeva's 

Gītagovinda, along with miniatures 

of the ten avatāras. 

Narasiṃha is quite predictably depicted in the 

act of tearing open Hiraṇyakaśipu's stomach. 

In this connection, I would appreciate very 

much if someone could point me towards other 

manuscript miniatures, or paintings of other kind 

and size, which depict Hiraṇyakaśipu in the 

same or other scenes (and/or the books, 

journals, websites, etc., in which I can find them). 

I would like to compare his appearance 

(beginning with his complexion) across 

multiple paintings.

Since I am almost sure that this manuscript is 

a product of Orissa, it would be ideal to start 

from Orissan art.

All the very best, 

Gaia Pintucci
