Salutations ans salutations to Lord Narasimha,
Who lifted the earth,
Who killed the asura called Kesi.
Who takes care of woes of people,
Who hides the world by illusion,
Who is the Lord of the universe,
Who is universe itself,
Who killed the asura called Madhu,
Who has form like the universe,
Who has a lotus on his belly,
Who is the greatest among males,
And who has lotus like eyes.
