O Hari! O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! You have assumed a half-man,
half-lion form! All glory to You! You ripped apart the bee-like body of
Hiranyakasipu with the amazingly sharp nails of Your beautiful lotus hands.

"All glories to Nrisinghadev! All glories to Nrisinghadev, who is the Lord of
Prahlad Maharaj and, like a honeybee, is always engaged in beholding the
lotus face of the goddess of fortune."

"Nrsimha is here, Nrsimha is there—Nrsimha is wherever I go. Nrsimha is
outside, Nrsimha is within my heart. I am surrendered unto that primeval Lord
Nrsimha."

"I serve Nrisingha in whose mouth resides Saraswati, on whose chest resides
Laksmi and in whose heart resides Absolute Consciousness."

vaisnavera namete ullasa
"The feet dust of the Vaishnavs is where I sport and take bath, Vaishnavs'
name is the water oblation. My mind is intently fixed upon the remnants of
Vaishnavs, and I am elated at the name of Vaishnavs."
gangara-parasa ha-ile paschate pavana

"If the Ganges touches someone, they are purified some time later; but one
becomes purified just by seeing you, O Vaishnava Thakur. Such is your power."
