Gitomancy

I opened a random page from Srimad Bhagvad Gita for guidance and look what I got:

प्रह्लादश्चास्मि दैत्यानां कालः कलयतामहम्।
मृगाणां च मृगेन्द्रोऽहं वैनतेयश्च पक्षिणाम्।।10.30।।
 
prahlādaścāsmi daityānāṅ kālaḥ kalayatāmaham.

mṛgāṇāṅ ca mṛgēndrō.haṅ vainatēyaśca pakṣiṇām..10.30..

English translation by Swami Sivananda

10.30 And, I am Prahlada among the demons, among the reckoners I am time; among beasts I am the lion, and Vainateya (Garuda) among birds.

And I have a Othakadai Shri Lakshmi Narasimha photo with me and recently I came across the "Kodanda Rama mantra" .


पवनः पवतामस्मि रामः शस्त्रभृतामहम्।

झषाणां मकरश्चास्मि स्रोतसामस्मि जाह्नवी।।10.31।।

10.31 Among the purifiers (or the speeders) I am the wind; Rama among the warriors am I; among the fishes I am the shark; among the streams I am the Ganga.


मकर: makarah
is translated as a "Shark" or more accurately a "Gangetic Dolphin"
