Namas te narasimhaya
Prahladahlada-dayine
Hiranyakasipor vakshahsila-
Tanka-nakhalaye
I offer my obeisances to Lord Narasimha who gives joy to
Prahlada Maharaja and whose nails are like chisels on the
Stone like chest of the demon Hiranyakasipu
Ito nrisimhah parato nrisimho
Yato yato yami tato nrisimhah
Bahir nrisimho hridaye nrisimho
Nrisimham adim saranam prapadye
Lord Nrisimha is here and also there. Wherever I go Lord Nrisimha
Is there, He is in the heart and is outside as well. I surrender to
Lord Nrisimha, the origin of all things and the supreme refuge
Tava kara-kamala-vare nakham adbhuta-sringam
Dalita-hiranyakasipu-tanu-bhringam
Kesava dhrita-narahari-rupa jaya jagadisa hare
O Keshava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed
The form of half-man, half-lion! All glories to You! Just as one can
Easily crush a wasp between one's fingernails, so in the same way
The body of the was like demon Hiranyakasipu has been ripped
Apart by the wonderful pointed nails on Your beautiful lotus
Hands
