Sri Narasimhashtakam

|| Sri Narasimha Ashtakam ||     

Shrimad akalanka paripurna shashikoti     
Shridhara manohara satapatakanta     
Palaya kupalaya bhavambudhi nimagnam     
Daityavarakala Narasimha Narasimha ! 1

Pada kamalavanata pataki jananam     
Pataka davanala patatri varaketo     
Bhavana parayana bhavarti haraya mam     
Pahi kripayaiva Narasimha Narasimha ! 2     

Tunga nakha-pankti-dalitasuravarasrik     
Panka nava kunkuma vipankila mahoraha     
Pandita nidhana kamlalaya Namaste     
Pankaja nishnna Narasimha Narasimha ! 3     

Maulishu vibhushanam iva maravaranam     
Yogihridayeshu cha shirassu nigamanam     
Rajad aravinda ruchiram padayugam te     
Dehi mama murdhni Narasimha Narasimha ! 4     

Varija vilochana mad antima dashayam     
Klesha vivashikrita samasta karanayam     
Ehi ramaya saha sharanya vihaganam     
Natham adhiruhya Narasimha Narasimha ! 5     

Hataka kiritavara hara vanamala     
Tararashana makara kundala manindraih     
Bhushitam-ashesha-nilayam tava vapurme

Chetasi chakasta Narasimha Narasimha ! 6     

Indu ravi pavaku vilochana ramayaha     
Mandira mahabhuja lasadvara rathanga     
Sundara chiraya ramatam tvayi mano me     
Nandita suresha Narasimha Narasimha ! 7     

Madhava mukunda madhusudana murare     
Vamana nrisimha sharanam bhava natanam

Kamada ghrinin nikhila karana nayeyam     
Kalam amaresha Narasimha Narasimha ! 8      

Ashtakam idam sakala pataka bhayaghnam

Kamadam ashesha duritamaya ripughnam

Yah pathati santatam ashesha nilayam te     
Gacchati padam sa Narasimha Narasimha !!
