THE NARASIMHA VERSES

 

I offer my obeisances to Sri Narasimha,
whose mouth radiates thunderbolts,
whose hands radiate thunderbolts,
whose eyes radiate thunderbolts,
crack open the storm clouds of my mirages.

I offer my obeisances to Sri Narasimha,
who protects the Kshatriyas and
laughs at all limitations of
time and space!

I offer my obeisances to Sri Narasimha,
loosen the bonds of Maya,
burn away the smoke which
clouds my eyes,
with one glance from You,
my eyes transform to
tongues of fire!
 
I offer my obeisances to Sri Narasimha,
You appear as the Vedic Yajna,
a blazing fire which
leads me to Lord Hari!
 
I offer my obeisances to Sri Narasimha,
adorned with a garland of flames,
burn away the impediments
of material existence.
