Narasimha - Kamasikashatam

With an enormous mane that evokes fear, and a deafening reverberating roar,Though You boil with rage and Your brow twitches in anger,O merciful One in the guise of a ferocious lion, you nurse the demon's child like a mother, with the milk of Your loveAnd Your lotus-like eyes brim with kindness, annihilating all pain and suffering!When You protect, what is the need for another protector?If You do not protect, who else is capable of protecting me?With this firm resolve, I surrender unto You,O Narasimha Deva who resides in the banks of the river Vegavati! - from the Kamasikashtakam composed by Swami Vedanta Desikan. satapatalabhishane sarabhasa attahasodbhatesphuratkrudhiparisphutabhrukutike api vaktre kritekripa kapatakesarin danujadimbhadattasthaanasarojasadrisha drisha vyativishajya te vyajyate tvayi raksati raksakaih kimanyai tvayi cha araksati raksakaih kimanyaihiti nischitadhihshrayami nityam nruhare vegavati tatashrayam tvam
