O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the
form of half-man, half-lion! All glories to You! Just as one can easily crush
a wasp between ones fingernails, so in the same way the body of the
wasplike demon Hiranyakasipu has been ripped apart by the wonderful
pointed nails on Your beautiful lotus hands.

It bestows upon one all opulences and can give one elevation to the
heavenly planets or liberation. One should meditate on Lord Narasimha,
Lord of the Demigods, seated upon a golden throne.
His mouth is wide open, He has three eyes, and He is as radiant as the
autumn moon. He is embraced by Lakshmidevi on his left side, and His
form is the shelter of all opulences, both material and spiritual.
The Lord has four arms, and His limbs are very soft. He is decorated with
golden earrings. His chest is resplendent like the lotus flower, and His arms
are decorated with jewel-studded ornaments.
His two feet are very attractive, and He is armed with various weapons
such as the conch, disc, etc. Garuda joyfully offers prayers with great
reverence.
Having seated Lord Narasimhadeva upon the lotus of one's heart, one
should recite the following mantra:

May Lord Narasimha, who protects all the planetary systems, protect my
head.
Although the Lord is all-pervading, He hid Himself within a pillar. May He
protect my speech and the results of my activities. May Lord Narasimha,
whose eyes are the sun, and fire, protect my eyes.
May Lord Nrhari, who is pleased by the prayers offered by the best of
sages, protect my memory. May He who has the nose of a lion protect my
nose, and may He whose face is very dear to the goddess of fortune protect
my mouth.
May Lord Narasimha, who is the knower of all sciences, protect my sense
of taste. May He whose face is beautiful as the full moon and who is
offered prayers by Prahlada Maharaja protect my face.
May Lord Narasimha protect my throat. He is the sustainer of the earth and
the performer of unlimitedly wonderful activities. May He protect my
shoulders. His arms are resplendent with transcendental weapons. May He
protect my shoulders.
May the Lord, who bestows benedictions upon the demigods, protect my
hands, and may He protect me from all sides. May He who is achieved by
the perfect yogis protect my heart, and may Lord Hari protect my dwelling
place.
May He who ripped apart the chest and abdomen of the great demon
Hiranyaksha protect my waist, and may Lord Nrhari protect my navel. He
is offered prayers by Lord Brahma, who has sprung from his own navel.
May He on whose hips rest all the universes protect my hips. May the Lord
protect my private parts. He is the knower of all mantras and all mysteries,
but He Himself is not visible.
May He who is the original Cupid protect my thighs. May He who exhibits
a human-like form protect my knees. May the remover of the burden of the
earth, who appears in a form which is half-man and half-lion, protect my
calves.
May that most ferocious personality protect me from the east. May He who
is superior to the greatest heroes protect me from the southeast, which is
presided over by Agni. May the Supreme Vishnu protect me from the
south, and may that person of blazing luster protect me from the southwest.
May the Lord of everything protect me from the west. His faces are
everywhere, so please may He protect me from this direction. May Lord
Narasimha protect me from the northwest, which is predominated by Vayu,
and may He whose form is in itself the supreme ornament protect me from
the north, where Soma resides.
Whatever one desires in this world he can attain without doubt. One can
have wealth, many sons, and a long life.
This is the supreme remedy for the poisonous effects of serpents and
scorpions, and Brahma-rakshasa ghosts and Yakshas are driven away.
One may write this most auspicious prayer on his arm, or inscribe it on a
palm-leaf and attach it to his wrist, and all his activities will become
perfect.
One who regularly chants this prayer, whether once or thrice (daily), he
becomes victorious whether among demigods, demons, or human beings.
One who with purified heart recites this prayer 32,000 times attains the
most auspicious of all auspicious things, and material enjoyment and
liberation are already understood to be available to such a person.
This Kavaca-mantra is the king of all mantras. One attains by it what would
be attained by anointing oneself with ashes and chanting all other mantras.
Having marked ones body with tilaka, taking acamana with water, and
reciting this mantra three times, one will find that the fear of all
inauspicious planets is removed.
Lord Narasimha roars loudly and causes others to roar. With His multitudes
of arms He tears the demons asunder and kills them in this way. He is
always seeking out and tormenting the demoniac descendants of Diti, both
on this earth planet and in the higher planets, and He throws them down
and scatters them. He cries with great anger as He destroys the demons in
all directions, yet with His unlimited hands He sustains, protects, and
nourishes the cosmic manifestation. I offer my respectful obeisances to the
Lord, who has assumed the form of a transcendental lion.
Shrimat-pavo-nidhi-niketana chakra-pane
bhogindra-bhoga-mani-rajita punya-murte
O Lord, You reside in the ocean of milk, and You carry the Sudarshana
cakra in Your hand. Your all-auspicious form is made even more
resplendent by the jewel-like body of Anantadeva, the king of serpents
upon whom You rest. You are the eternal deliverer from the ocean of birth
and death for all those who seek Your shelter and You are the master of all
mystics. O Lakshmi-Nrisimha, please bless me with the touch of Your lotus
hands.
sanghattitangri-kamalamala-kanti-kanta
Lord Brahma, Lord Indra, Lord Shiva, the Maruts and the Sun-god all fall
down with their tens and millions of helmets at Your lotus feet, which are
most dear to the goddess of fortune, Lakshmi. Laxmidevi Herself appears
as beautiful as a royal swan enjoying the lotus flower of Your chest. O
Lakshmi-Nrisimha, please bless me with the touch of Your lotus hands.
The conditioned soul suffers on the path of repeated birth and death exactly
like one caught in a forest fire. Being very fearful, his body burnt by the
licking flames, he cries most pitiably. Just as one tormented by a forest fire
may take shelter in a pond, so the soul who surrenders to You may find
refuge from the forest fire of samsara by taking shelter in the pond of Your
lotus feet. O Lakshmi-Nrisimha, please bless me with the touch of Your
lotus hands.
Samsara-jala-patitasya jagan-nivasa
sarvendriyarta-badishagra-jhashopamasya
protkampita-prachurataluka-mastakasya
O abode of the universe, I have fallen into the net of repeated birth and
death. Just like an aquatic animal, I eagerly accept the hook baited with the
sense objects. And just as the fish is caught trembling, and his head is cut
off, so my real consciousness is lost as I am punished by the material
nature. O Lakshmi-Nrisimha, please bless me with the touch of Your lotus
hands.
samprapya dukha-shata-sarpa-samakulasya
Having fallen into the horrible and bottomless well of repeated birth and
death, I am tormented by the serpent of hundred fold miseries. In this fallen
condition, O Lord, by Your mercy I am surrendered to Your lotus feet. O
Lakshmi-Nrisimha, please bless me with the touch of Your lotus hands.
Samsara-bhikara-karindra-karabhighata
nishpidyamana-vapushah sakalarti-nasa
prana-prayana bhava-bhiti-samakulasya
You slay the king of the demons, Hiranyakashipu, whose body is as strong
as an elephant by squeezing him with your hands. In this way You destroy
all miseries by breaking the fearful cycle of birth and death. You are the
ultimate goal of life for those who are disturbed by fear of material
existence. O Lakshmi-Nrisimha, please bless me with the touch of Your
lotus hands.
Samsara-sarpa-visha-digdha mahogra-tivra
damstragra-koti-paridashta vinashta-murte
I have been bitten by the tens of millions of terrible sharp fangs of the
snake of material existence. Having been injected with its powerful poison,
I have lost my consciousness as the eternal servant of Krishna. The best
remedy for snakebite is nectar, therefore O Lord Shauri, You reside in the
ocean of nectar and Your carrier is Garuda the great enemy of snakes. O
Lakshmi-Nrisimha, please bless me with the touch of Your lotus hands.

Samsara-sagara-nimajjana-muhyamanam
prahlada-kheda-parihara-kritavatara
artasya matsara-nidagdha-suduhkhitasya
You are the Lord of Lakshmi and the master of the demigods. O Vishnu,
Your navel is just like a lotus. You are the Lord of sacrifice and the
embodiment of sacrificial performance. O Madhusudana, Vishvarupa, You
are always favorably disposed to the brahmanas. O Keshava, Janardana,
Vasudeva, O Lakshmi-Nrisimha, please bless me with the touch of Your
lotus hands.
In one of Your four hands You hold the Sudarshana disc and in another a
conch. With another You embrace Lakshmi, who was born from the milk
ocean, and with another on the left You bestow fearlessness. The palm of
that hand which is raised to give the benediction is marked with the lotus
symbol. O Lakshmi-Nrisimha, please bless me with the touch of Your lotus
hands.

You reside in the hearts of the best devotees such as Prahlada Maharaja,
Narada Muni, Parashara Muni, Pundarika, Vyasadeva and others. You are
very fond of Your devotees and You are their parijata tree of protection. O
Lakshmi-Nrisimha, please bless me with the touch of Your lotus hands.

El Seor Nrisimha est aqu y tambin all. Dondequiera que vaya, el Seor
Nrisimha est all. l est en el corazn y est afuera tambin. Me rindo al
Seor Nrisimha, el origen de todas las cosas y el refugio supremo.
De Jayadeva Gosvami
O Kesava! Oh Seor del universo! Oh Seor Hari, que han asumido la
forma de medio hombre, medio len! Todas las glorias a Ti! As como uno
puede fcilmente aplastar a una avispa entre las uas de uno, de modo que
del mismo modo el cuerpo del demonio de vespa Hiranyakasipu ha sido
desgarrado por las maravillosas uas puntiagudas en Tus hermosas manos
de loto.

Presta una sola opulencia y puede dar una elevacin a los planetas
celestiales o la liberacin. Uno debe meditar en el Seor Narasimha, Seor
de los semidioses, sentado en un trono de oro.
Su boca est muy abierta, Tiene tres ojos, y l es tan radiante como la luna
de otoo. l es abrazado por Lakshmidevi en su lado izquierdo, y Su forma
es el refugio de todas las opulencias, tanto materiales como espirituales.
El Seor tiene cuatro brazos, y Sus miembros son muy suaves. Est
decorado con aretes de oro. Su pecho resplandece como la flor de loto, y
sus brazos estn decorados con adornos adornados con joyas.
Est vestido con una prenda amarilla sin manchas, que recuerda
exactamente al oro fundido. Es la causa original de la existencia, ms all
de la esfera mundana, de los grandes semidioses encabezados por Indra.
Aparece adornado con rubes que son resplandecientes.
Sus dos pies son muy atractivos, y est armado con varias armas como la
concha, el disco, etc. Garuda ofrece con alegra oraciones con gran
reverencia.
Que el Seor Nrhari, que se complace con las oraciones ofrecidas por los
mejores sabios, proteja mi memoria. Que el que tiene la nariz de un len
proteja mi nariz, y que El cuya cara sea muy querida a la diosa de la fortuna
proteja mi boca.
Que el Seor, que bendice a los semidioses, proteja mis manos, y que l
me proteja de todos los lados. Que El que sea alcanzado por los yoguis
perfectos proteja mi corazn, y que el Seor Hari proteja mi morada.
Que El en cuyas caderas descansen todos los universos proteja mis caderas.
Que el Seor proteja mis partes ntimas. l es el conocedor de todos los
mantras y todos los misterios, pero l mismo no es visible.
Que El que es el Cupido original proteja mis muslos. Que el que exhibe una
forma humana proteja mis rodillas. Que el eliminador de la carga de la
tierra, que aparece en una forma que es mitad hombre y mitad len, proteja
mis becerros.
Que esa personalidad ms feroz me proteja del este. Que el que es superior
a los grandes hroes me proteja desde el sureste, que est presidido por
Agni. Que el Supremo Vishnu me proteja del sur, y que esa persona de
brillante brillo me proteja del suroeste.
Que el Seor de todo me proteja del occidente. Sus rostros estn por todas
partes, as que por favor que l me proteja de esta direccin. Que el Seor
Narasimha me proteja del noroeste, que es predominado por Vayu, y que El
cuya forma sea en s el ornamento supremo me proteja del norte, donde
reside Soma.
Todo lo que uno desea en este mundo puede alcanzar sin duda. Uno puede
tener riqueza, muchos hijos y una larga vida.
Quien canta regularmente esta oracin, sea una o tres veces (diariamente),
se hace victorioso entre semidioses, demonios o seres humanos.
Quien con el corazn purificado recita esta oracin 32.000 veces alcanza lo
ms auspicioso de todas las cosas auspiciosas, y el disfrute material y la
liberacin ya se entiende que estn disponibles para tal persona.
Este Kavaca-mantra es el rey de todos los mantras. Uno logra por l lo que
se lograra ungindose con cenizas y cantando todos los dems mantras.
Despus de haber marcado el cuerpo con tilaka, tomar acamana con agua, y
recitar este mantra tres veces, uno encontrar que el miedo de todos los
planetas no propicios es eliminado.
El Seor Narasimha ruge fuerte y hace que otros rugan. Con Sus multitudes
de brazos l desgarra a los demonios y los mata de esta manera. Siempre
est buscando y atormentando a los demonacos descendientes de Diti,
tanto en este planeta terrestre como en los planetas superiores, y l los
arroja y los dispersa. Llora con gran ira cuando destruye a los demonios en
todas direcciones, pero con sus manos ilimitadas sostiene, protege y nutre
la manifestacin csmica. Ofrezco mis respetuosas reverencias al Seor,
quien ha asumido la forma Forma de un len trascendental.
El Seor Brahma, el Seor Indra, el Seor Shiva, los Maruts y el Dios del
Sol caen con sus decenas y millones de cascos a tus pies de loto, que son
muy queridos por la diosa de la fortuna, Lakshmi. Laxmidevi se aparece
tan hermosa como un cisne real disfrutando de la flor de loto de su pecho.
Oh Lakshmi-Nrisimha, por favor bendecirme con el toque de Tus manos de
loto.
