Translation: OM! Adorned with Lakshmi, all pervading Lord Narasimha How shall I praise you, thy greatness and prowess Thy nails are dazzling like the Vajra of Indra Which smashed the elephantine mountains, the demons Thy nails wipe enemies like lust and erase ignorance They are ideal for the penance of gods I praise thy nails O Lord Narasimha Protect the righteous and destroy our enemies. Explanation: Formerly mountains had wings; in their flight, they came down and buried whole cities. So God Indra cut off their wings with his massive thunderbolt. Daityas- the born enemies of Gods are likened to huge bodied mountain like elephants and Shri Narasimha is the all powerful lion. The spacious, sharp claws are compared to Indra's thunderbolt. Each nail is effectual in smashing the gigantic Demons. These nails are supremely superhuman and their imperishable, eternal and divine pre-eminence is incessantly mediated upon by all the Gods with deep sincere devotion for knowledge and light. The Nails dispel the darkness of ignorance common to souls clothed with perishable bodies with active organs, which are always sensing pleasures. The whole structure of this 'Man-Lion' forms the manifestation of 'sat', 'chit', 'ananda-atma' and not the structure of 'prak^ruti = (satva, rajas, tamas)'. So Nrusimha is apakrutha sharira = vishnu avatara. lakshmIkA.nta sama.ntato.apikalayan.h naiveshituste samam.h | pashyAmyuttama vastu dUrataratopAsta.n rasoyo.ashhTamaH | yadroshotkara daksha netra kuTila prA.ntotthitAgni sphurat.h | khadyotopama visphuliN^gabhasitA brahmeshashakrotkarAH || 2|| Short explanation: Of all the the avataras of Shree Hari or Vishnu, Narasimha, is the most powerful and violent. In the entire pantheon of god and goddesses there is no one who is greater than or equal to Narasimha, hence this shloka is dedicated solely to “Lakshnkanta”. Translation: I delved deep into space and time; Vedas, Shastras and Puranas I couldn't find matter better than thee for songs and prayers The taste of thy name is unique, its eight RASA Oh Lord of Lakshmi, the ultimate Reality, I chant thy merits When furious, a wink of thy right eye emits fire of Pralaya in that fire gods like Brahma, Rudra and Indra burn like moths You are the creator, protector and Destroyer, the Omnipotent You are Omniscient, Omnipresent; I remain thy proud Bhakta. Explanation: Oh! Lord of Goddess Lakshmi, a searching study of all the shastraas and a deep contemplation and devoted thoughts have proved that you are the only supreme being, there being none equal to you and we cannot have a seventh 'rasa' to add to the recognized 'shat rasa' and the 'astama rasa' is an absolute impossibility. The Lord is the Creator, Protector and Destroyer of the Universe and when He sends forth even a glow worm-like spark from His eye; that spark will reduce God Brahma, Indra and everything under them to ashes. So Sri Narasimha kind graces should be sought after by all devoted souls.
