Sri Nrisimha Ashtakam.

Dhyayami narasimhakyambrahma vedanta-gocharambhavabdhi taran opayamshankha chakra dharam paramI am meditating on the Supreme Person known as Nrisimha who is attainable through Vedanta philosophy. He is the carrier of the conch and the Sudarshana disc, and He is the only means for crossing the ocean of birth and death.Nilam ramam cha paribhuya kripa rasenastambhe sva-shakti-managham vinidhaya devaprahlada rakshana vidhavi yati kripa teshri narasimha paripalaya mam cha bhaktamYou mercifully protect Nila and Rama with Your chaste, spiritual internal potency.
