Bharathi Devi the custodian of the vedas and respected in all the three worlds worships. Shremadananda Teertha the dust generated from your foot steps is enough to protect and cleanse me. Translation: Oh Master Anandateertha, you are the Acharya of the three worlds You have unflinching devotion in the holy feet of Lord Vishnu Let the holy dust of thy lotus feet gracefully purify us. Bharati devi, the goddess of speech, worshipped by the three worlds with her moon-lit smile showed love, devotion in thy holy feet Let the dust of thy feet always purge and purify us Explanation: The greatest Virtue of an accomplished Vaishnava Devotee is his lasting and robust devotion towards the lotus feet of Sri Vishnu as the Supreme Lord of Universe. Possessing this Virtue in amplitude, our Acharya stands as the greatest guru of three worlds with His implicit and explicit expanding of 'Dvaita' philosophy, supported and strengthened with the rich texts in Vedas, Upanishads, Panch Ratragamas and Puranas. His lotus feet emit captivating aroma and striking luster. May the Dust of these Lustrous Lotus feet purify us. His profound proficiency has evoked even the admiration of Sharada. Goddess of Learning who is adored even by Gods and Sages as the Master Leader of all Lores, as the prompter and promoter of speech to human beings by imparting and inspiring knowledge to expound the time-honored and immortal sacred lore the Vedas. Such an enlightened and eminent one - the Goddess Bharati is fired by piety and devotion and perforce drawn to our Sri Ananda Thirtha charya and accepts him as her Lord and natural and eternal husband and adores Him for His born erudition and depth of devotion for his Lord Sri Vishnu who is Sarvottama.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
