Jaya Narasimhadeva!

ugram viram maha visnum jvalantam sarvatomukham
nrisimham bhisanam bhadram mrtyu mrtyum namamy aham

"May my head be protected by the mooncoloured one, who is the greatest among humans. My obeisances unto the ferocious and powerful, the great Visnu, the fiery one, who's faces are on all sides, the fearful one, Nrsimha, who causes the death of even death personified, (or who can overcome death)."

-bhadrAdika nakha-sparsha divya-siMha nami 'stu te

 "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 Narasimhadeva During Mayapur Flood

ugro ’py anugra evàyam sva-bhaktànàm nri-kesharî
kesharîva sva-potànàm anyeshàm ugra-vikramah

“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.”

 

 om namo bhagavate nara-simhàya namas tejas-tejase àvir-àvirbhava

"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."

 

 namo bhagavate nrsimhaya

"I offer my respects to Lord Narasimhadev who has a beard of flames and eyes like pillars of fire, and who is the protector of the devotees, cut cut, burn burn, and protect protect us."

 

 om namo bhagavate sri maha nrsimhaya

rupaya vajra nakhaya jvala maline
maha vishnan pacha pacha
mama astrun vidravaya vidravaya
mama sarva rista prabhunjaya
chata chata hana hana chindi chindi
mama sarva bhistan puraya puraya
mam raksa raksa hum phat svaha

"I offer my respects to the great Lord Narasimhadev. You have nails and teeth like bolts of lightning and are garlended by a mane of flames. Chopping, cutting, tearing, and killing please protect us your devotees."
