Srila Prabhupada: "The Supreme Personality of Godhead in His transcendental form of Lord Nrsimhadeva is always ready to kill the demons who always create disturbances in the minds of honest devotees. To spread the Krishna consciousness movement, devotees have to face many dangers and impediments all over the world, but a faithful servant who preaches with great devotion to the Lord must know that Lord Nrsimhadeva is always his protector." (Srimad Bhagavatam 7.8.51 Purport)

Srimad-Bhagavatam - Seventh Canto - Chapter 8:
'Lord Nṛsiḿhadeva Slays the King of the Demons'

TEXT 51
śrī-cāraṇā ūcuḥ hare tavāṅghri-paṅkajaṁ bhavāpavargam āśritāḥ yad eṣa sādhu-hṛc-chayas tvayāsuraḥ samāpitaḥ

SYNONYMS
śrī-cāraṇāḥ ūcuḥ—the inhabitants of the Cāraṇa planet said; hare—O Lord; tava—Your; aṅghri-paṅkajam—lotus feet; bhava-apavargam—the only shelter for becoming free from the contamination of material existence; āśritāḥ—sheltered at; yat—because; eṣaḥ—this; sādhu-hṛt-śayaḥ—stake in the hearts of all honest persons; tvayā—by Your Lordship; asuraḥ—the demon (Hiraṇyakaśipu); samāpitaḥ—finished.

TRANSLATION
The inhabitants of the Cāraṇa planet said: O Lord, because You have destroyed the demon Hiraṇyakaśipu, who was always a stake in the hearts of all honest men, we are now relieved, and we eternally take shelter of Your lotus feet, which award the conditioned soul liberation from materialistic contamination.

PURPORT
The Supreme Personality of Godhead in His transcendental form of Narahari, Nṛsiṁhadeva, is always ready to kill the demons, who always create disturbances in the minds of honest devotees. To spread the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, devotees have to face many dangers and impediments all over the world, but a faithful servant who preaches with great devotion to the Lord must know that Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva is always his protector.
