The Test

Seat 1: Mythic Name Restoration

Claim: The man-lion avatar in IAST, preserving Sanskrit diacritics. Exhibit: Primary Attestation — Narasiṃha is attested in the canonical Sanskrit sources as a figure associated with man-lion avatar.

Verdict: holds under load. The correspondence is functional, not decorative.

Seat 2: Diacritic-First Domains

Claim: The dot below ṣ and vowel length preserve Narasimha in IAST. Exhibit: Name and Meaning — The name means "The Man-Lion — the fourth avatāra of Viṣṇu" and reflects the figure's role in the tradition.

Verdict: holds under load. The correspondence is functional, not decorative.

Seat 3: Global Pantheon Brands

Claim: The man-lion avatar in IAST, preserving Sanskrit diacritics and fierce protection. Exhibit: Primary Attestation — Narasiṃha is attested in the canonical Sanskrit sources as a figure associated with man-lion avatar.

Verdict: survives scrutiny. The myth and the trade do the same work.

The Control Group

Against the seats that survived, one control: the temple's own summary of its figure — The stories of Narasiṃha circulate within the Sanskrit corpus, where the figure embodies man-lion avatar. The seats do not drift far from it. That is the audit's cleanest result.

The Method, Stated Plainly

None of this is numerology. A seat exists only where the match can be argued from the deity’s documented domains and deeds — weighted, published, and falsifiable. The derivation, the weights, and the challenge process are public on the methodology page. If a seat in this file reads wrong, the atlas itself tells you how to prove it — and the correction becomes part of the record.

For the Ones Who Work There

For a sponsor in mythic name restoration, the fit here is not adjacency — it is inheritance. Your trade already tells this story every working day; the temple simply holds the original. The patron tier and the advertising terms carry the mechanics; the myths above carry the reason.

The File Continues

This is one of 397 Resonance Files — the third dispatch from every flagship temple, where the myths meet the markets. The temple's founding dispatch tells the name's story; its Restoration File tells the spelling's; the blog index holds the whole archive.

Continue the series — previous: Nanna (read it) · next: Neptūnus (read it).

The Resonance Files are argued from the same canonical record as the pattern atlas itself: the lexicon, the lore catalog, and the cited sources. Every seat can be challenged at the methodology page — and the challenge is the point.
