Namo Narasimhayadi Devaya
Obeisances to Lord Nrsimha, the all-pervading Supreme Personality of Godhead, supreme in all the worlds, the resting-place of all living beings, eternally glorious with strength, power, heroism, and splendor, splendid like a great silver mountain, splendid with a great mane, splendid with a ruddy golden glory that fills the universe.
On His forehead eyebrows whose knitting removes all troubles and obstacles from His surrendered devotees, His neck splendid like a hundred whirlpools, His restless, glistening, red eyes two blazing fires, His short neck the city where His frightening breath resides.
His cheeks splendid, His lips rising moons, His sharp, white, fearsome teeth glistening, His frightening roar a thousand thunderbolts from slowly moving clouds, as He roars His sharp teeth glistening like stars in the sky at sunset.
The vine of His tongue moving restlessly on His palate, His shoulders broad, His thick neck graceful like a conchshell, His great chest marked with the Srivatsa and decorated with a garland of many fragrant muktaka flowers.
His broad and frightening arms, hands, and fingers moving like the sun and the wind, His sharp thunderbolt weapon sipping the blood of Hiranyakasipu, His waist bound with a yellow silk sash.
His form containing the features of a lion and a man, His graceful hips, thighs, and knees powerful like a raised thunderbolt and marked with the signs of a great personality, His slender form always worshiped by the devotees, His ankles graceful, His great arms powerful and swift, His footsteps making the earth tremble.
His form marked with the splendid signs of a tree, conchshell, disc, club, whirlpool, flag, elephant goad, parasol, mirror, fish, tortoise, wave, yupa, moon, sun, bull, horse, elephant, and chariot, His form marked with the signs of an exalted personality, His form marked with the signs of great auspiciousness, His mane like a great shadow, and His graceful, splendid, inconceivable, and blissful feet worshiped and praised by Indra, the Vasus, the Rudras, the Adityas, the Sandhyas, the Asvis, and the Maruts.
O Lord, obeisances unto You! O Lord, please come! Please come! O Lord glorious with power, heroism, splendor, virtues, strength, sankhya, yoga, transcendental knowledge, purity, and religion, please appear! O Supreme Lord, by shaking Your limbs please wipe away all my sins. Please destroy all dangers and illusions. O Supreme Person, O Supreme Auspiciousness, O lover of Your devotees, O Lord merciful to Your devotees, please remove all my fears.
You are the Supreme. You are the Absolute Truth, beginningless, peerless, the best. You are the all-opulent Supreme Personality of Godhead. O Lord, please remove my sins. Please remove my sins. Please make me always peaceful. Please give what is best for me. Please give me auspiciousness. Please bless me.
O great one, I surrender unto You. O Lord Visnu, O lotus-eyed Supreme Personality of Godhead, O master of knowledge, opulence, power, strength, glory, and virtue, O supreme person, O supreme auspiciousness, O lotus-naveled Lord, O Lord Hayagriva, O Lord Varaha, O Lord Nrsimha, O Lord Vamana, O Lord Trivikrama, O Lord Parasurama, O Lord Ramacandra, O Lord Balarama, O Lord Krsna the son of Vasudeva, O Lord Vasudeva, O Lord Sankarsana, O Lord Pradyumna, O Lord Aniruddha, O Purusa-avatara, O Lord Satyasruta, O Lord Vasudeva, O creator, maintainer, and destroyer of the worlds, O creator of the days and the nights, O Lord dressed in graceful white garments, O Lord seated on Garuda, O father of Kamadeva, O Lord who gives transcendental knowledge, O Lord who gives freedom from karma, O Lord whose navel is time, I surrender unto You. May auspiciousness be to the peerless great devotees. May auspiciousness be to the people.
You are the Vedic mantras. You are my protection. You are the final medicine. O master of the worlds, please protect me from the three sufferings!
O Lord Visnu, O great one, O Lord affectionate to Your surrendered devotees, I surrender to You. Please make me pure. Please make me generous at heart. Please free me from the sufferings of this world.
