ṛsṃhīٳ (नृसिंहतीर्�) is the name of a īٳ (sacred bathing place) that is associated with the Śٲܻś Liṅga (symbolical manifestation of Śiva). This place represents the twenty-ninth of the sixty-four 󲹱ṅg mentioned in the Nepalese Tyasaphu (a folding book or leporello). At each of these spots Śiva is manifest as a Liṅga. Each of these ṅg has its own specific name, mantra, set of rituals and observances, auspicious time etc.

The auspiscious time for bathing at the Nṛsiṃha-tīrtha near the Śatarudra-īśvara-liṅga is mentioned as “phālguṇa-kṛṣṇa-tṛtīyā jyeṣṭḥa-śukla-daśāmī pūrṇimā jyeṣṭha-nakṣatre saṃkrānti ādityavāra� (latin: phalguna-krishna-tritiya jyeshtha-shukla-dashami purnima jyeshtha-nakshatre samkranti adityavara). This basically represents the recommended day for bathing there (Բ徱Բ).
