Dear Sri.Sridhar:
Pranams!
Your question is very valid, in the context that Lord Narayana
played the role in both the Avatars. I can answer your question
from the limited knowledge I have. It is the Avatara Rahasyam
that plays role in the activities you have mentioned. While
incarnating as Lord Narasimha, He was with in his limits of
incarnation, and that might have been the reason why the
activity that you have mentioned would not have been advocated
by the Lord in Narasimha avatar. In this context, we also
should not forget that He never falls short in his qualities
whichever Avatar He takes. Avatar as Lord Rama was in Human
form in which an ordinary Human Being could comprehend with
acvities after killing, like last rights.
The above explanation is bound to my very limited knowledge.
Thanks,
Sri Ramanuja Dasan,
Ramanan
