नरमृगपतिः वर्ष्मालोकनभ्रान्त नारी
नरदनुज सुपर्व व्रात पाताललोकः ।
करज कुलिश पालि भिन्न दैत्येन्द्र वक्षाः
सुररिपु बलहन्ता श्रीधरोस्तु श्रिये वः ॥
Meaning:
May Lord Vishnu (the bearer of LakShmi), the destroyer of the armies of the demons, be the bestower of prosperity on us. The Lord, at the sight of whose man-lion (Narasimha) form multitudes of men, women, gods, demons and the denizens of the netherworld were frightened, and who tore as under the chest of the king of demons Hiranyakasipa with the thunder-bolt like sharp nails.
