Śrī Nṛsiṁha Praṇām
- namas te narasiṁhāya
- prahlādāhlāda-dāyine
- hiraṇyakaśipor vakṣaḥ-
- śilā-ṭaṅka-nakhālaye
-
I offer my obeisances to Lord Narasiṁha, who gives joy to Prahlād Mahārāj and whose nails are like chisels on the stonelike chest of the demon Hiraṇyakaśipu.
-
- ito nṛsiṁhaḥ parato nṛsiṁho
- yato yato yāmi tato nṛsiṁhaḥ
- bahir nṛsiṁho hṛdaye nṛsiṁho
- nṛsiṁham ādiṁ śaraṇaṁ prapadye
-
Lord Nṛsiṁha is here and also there. Wherever I go Lord Nṛsiṁha is there. He is in the heart and is outside as well. I surrender to Lord Nṛsiṁha, the origin of all things and the supreme refuge.

Oh Keśava! Oh Lord of the universe! Oh 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 wasplike demon Hiraṇyakaśipu has been ripped apart by the wonderful pointed nails on Your beautiful lotus hands.
