Sri Nrisimha Mantra & sholkas


Namaste narasimhaya
prahladahlada-dayine
hiranyakashipor vakshah
shila-tanka-nakhalaye
ito nshimhah parato nrisimho
yato yato yami tato nrisimhah
bahir nrisimho hridaye nrisimho
nrisimham adim sharanam prapadye
I offer my obeisances to Lord Nrisimha-deva, who is always giving bliss to His devotees like Prahlada Maharaja and chiselling at the hearts of demons like Hiranyakashipu. The devotee always sees Lord Nrisimha everywhere. Lord Nrisimha is within and without. Therefore let us all take shelter of Lord Nrisimha.
 
Prayer to Lord Nrisimha
Tava kara-kamala-vare nakham adbhuta-sringham
dalita-hiranyakashipu-tanu-bhringam
keshava dhrita-narahari-rupa jaya jagadisha hare
O my Lord Nrisimha, Your hands is very beautiful like the lotus flower, but with your long nails you have ripped apart the wasp Hiranyakashipu. Unto You, Lord of the universe, I offer my humble obeisances.

are on all sides, the fearful one, Nrsimha, who causes the death of even death
personified, (or who can overcome death)'.

"O my Lord, O transcendental Lion, I offer my obeisances unto You along with Srimati
Laxmi Devi. Sometimes flying in the sky, sometimes moving on foot, Your mane-hairs
blaze with golden brilliance. Your glance and touch of You nails are the source of all
auspiciousness.

“Lord Nrisimhadeva is always assisted by Sarasvatî, the goddess of
learning, and He is always embracing to His chest the goddess of
fortune. The Lord is always complete in knowledge within Himself.
Let us offer obeisances unto Nrisimhadeva.”
Sridhar Swami's commentary Srimad Bhagavatam 10:87:1.

“Let me offer my obeisances unto Lord Nrisimhadeva, who is always
enlightening Prahlàda Mahàràja within his heart and who always kills the
nescience that attacks the devotees. His mercy is distributed like
moonshine, and His face is like that of a lion. Let me offer my
obeisances unto Him again and again.”
Shrîmad-Bhàgavatam (1.1.1), of Srila Shrîdhara Svàmî.

TRANSLATION
“ ‘Although very ferocious, the lioness is very kind to her cubs.
Similarly, although very ferocious to nondevotees like Hiranyakashipu,
Lord Nrisimhadeva is very, very soft and kind to devotees like Prahlàda Mahàràja.’”

TRANSLATION:
I offer my respectful obeisances unto Lord Nrsimhadeva, the source of all
power. O my Lord who possesses nails and teeth just like thunderbolts,
kindly vanquish our demonlike desires for fruitive activity in this material
world. Please appear in our hearts and drive away our ignorance so that
by Your mercy we may become fearless in the struggle for existence in
this material world.

TRANSLATION
O best of the great personalities, I am not at all afraid of material existence,
for wherever I stay I am fully absorbed in thoughts of Your glories and activities.
My concern is only for the fools and rascals who are making elaborate plans
for material happiness and maintaining their families, societies and countries.
I am simply concerned with love for them.
pràyena deva munayah sva-vimukti-kàmà
maunam charanti vijane na paràrtha-nishthàh
naitàn vihàya kripanàn vimumukta eko
nànyam tvad asya sharanam bhramato ’nupashye
TRANSLATION
My dear Lord Nrsimhadeva, I see that there are many saintly persons indeed,
but they are interested only in their own deliverance. Not caring for the big
cities and towns, they go to the Himalayas or the forest to meditate with
vows of silence [mauna-vrata]. They are not interested in delivering others.
As for me, however, I do not wish to be liberated alone, leaving aside all these
poor fools and rascals. I know that without Krsna consciousness, without
taking shelter of Your lotus feet, one cannot be happy. Therefore I wish to
bring them back to shelter at Your lotus feet.
Spoken by Prahlad maharaj.
(the favourite prayers of Sripad Raghavendra Tirtha Swami)

Obeisances unto You Narasimha. You who killed the demon Hiranyakashipu,
who was threatening the three worlds. You remove all impediments from
devotional life like the various ghosts and witches You chase away. O Lord of
sacrifice whose transcendental activities are invoked by the sacrifice of Your
devotees, we sacrifice for You.

Hiranyakashipu studied the form of the Lord, trying to decide who the form of Nrisimhadeva standing before him was. The Lord's form was extremely fearsome because of His angry eyes, which resembled molten gold; His shining mane, which expanded the dimensions of His fearful face; His deadly teethl and His razor-sharp tongue, which moved about like a duelling sword. His ears were erect and motionless, and His nostrils and gaping mouth appeared like caves of a mountain. His jaws parted fearfully, and His entire body touched the sky. His neck was very short and thick, His chest broad, His waist thin, and the hairs on His body as white as the rays of the moon. His arms, which resembled flanks of soldiers, spread in all directions as He killed the demons, rogues and atheists with His conchshell, disc, club, lotus and other natural weapons. [Bhag., 7.8.19-22]

Jwalantham Sarvatho Mukham
Nrisimham Bheeshanam Bhadram
Mrityu-Mrityum Namaamyaham.
"O' Angry and brave Maha-Vishnu, your heat and fire permeate everywhere. O Lord Narasimha, you are everywhere. You are the death of death and I surrender to You."
ito nrsimhah parato nrsimho,
yato yato yami tato nrsimhah,
bahir nrsimho hrdaye nrsimho,

"Lord Nrsimha is here and also there. Wherever I go Lord Narasimha is there. He is in the heart and is outside as well. I surrender to Lord Narasimha, the origin of all things and the supreme refuge." (Narasimha Pranama)[17]
Narasimha deity in Bhaktapur Darbar, Nepal

tava kara-kamala-vare nakham adbhuta-srngam,
dalita-hiranyakasipu-tanu-bhrngam,
kesava dhrta-narahari-rupa jaya jagadisa hare
"O Kesava! O Lord of the universe. O 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 Hiranyakasipu has been ripped apart by the wonderful pointed nails on your beautiful lotus hands." (from the Dasavatara-stotra composed by Jayadeva)[17]
Tvayi Rakshathi Rakshakai: Kim Anyai:,
Tvayi Cha Arakshati Rakshakai: Kim Anyai:,
Ithi Nischita Dhee: Srayaami Nityam,
Nruhareh: Vegavathee Tataasrayam Tvam!
"O kamasikha Narasimha! you are sarva sakthan. When you are resolved to protect some one, where is the need to seek the protection of anyone else? When you are resolved not to protect some one, which other person is capable of protecting us?. There is no one. Knowing this fundamental truth, I have resolved to offer my saranagati at your lotus feet alone that rest at the banks of Vegavathi river." (Kamasika Ashtakam by Vedanta Desika)
ADi ADi agam Karaindhu isai
PADip PADik KaNNIr Malgi engum
' nADi nADi narasingA endru,
VADi VADum ivvAL nuthalE!
"I will dance and melt for you, within my heart, to see you, I will sing in praise of you with tears in joy, I will search for Narasimha and I am a householder who still searches to reach you(to attain Salvation)."

The Nrisimha Gayatris
Om Nrisimhaye vidmahe
vajranakhaya dhimahi
tan no simhah prachodayat
Translation
"Om. Let us think well aware of Nrisimha, the lightning-nailed.
May the Lion promote our thought and actions."
Vajra nakhaya vidmahe
tikshna damstraya dhimahi
tan no narasimhah prachodayat
Translation

thunderbolts and sharp teeth. Let us all be enthused by Lord Narasimhadeva."
Sri Nrisimha Maha-mantra

ugram viram maha-vishnum
jvalantam sarvato mukham
nrisimham bhishanam bhadram
mrityur mrityum namamy aham
Translation
"I bow down to Lord Narasimha who is ferocious and heroic like Lord Vishnu.
He is burning from every side. He is terrific, auspicious and
the death of death personified."

Significance of Sri Nrisimha Maha-mantra
It is stated in Shastra that this mantra is the essence of all kavacha mantras, or mantras meant for wearing in a kavacha (capsule). The mantra is often written on a small piece of bark, such as from the botch tree. Then it is sealed in the capsule with a tulasi (Holy Basil) leaf or even flower petals that have been offered to the deity of Lord Narasimha. After worshipping the deity of Lord Narasimha with sixteen upacharas or items of worship, the pujari or priest performs a ritual called prana-pratistha: he calls the Lord to reside in the kavacha. He then worships the kavacha. Then it has full protective power. Men can wear the kavacha around the neck or on the upper right arm, while women wear it around the neck or on the upper left arm. The Kavacha may be worn in all circumstances, at any time, or in any place.
