O Lakshminrsimha, whose abode is the ocean of milk, who hold the (sudarSana)
discus in Your hand, whose pleasing form is adorned by the jewels that are the
hoods of Adi Sesha, who are the Lord of the Yogis, the Eternal One, who provide
protection to those who seek it, the boat by which
one crosses the ocean of miseries, provide me the support of Your hands.

Your lotus feet are touched by the tips of the crowns of Brahma, Indra, Rudra,
the Maruts and Suurya. The brilliance of Your lotus feet thus adds to Your
effulgence, O dear one! You are the King of swans sporting near the beautiful
lotus breasts of Lakshmi. O Lakshminrsimha, provide me the support of Your
hands.

O Muraari (enemy of Mura)! I have been tormented by the fierce and terrifying
lion called desire (kaama) while wandering in the dense
forest called samsaaric existence. I have been scorched by the heat of the
summer called envy (matsara). To me who have been thus afflicted,
O Lakshminrsimha, do You provide the support of Your hands.

Having reached the bottom of the unfathomable and extremely fearful well called
samsaaric existence, I have been troubled by the hundreds of serpents called
miseries. O Deva! O Lakshminrsimha! To me who am helpless and who have reached
this wretched condition, do You provide the support of Your hands.

In the ocean that is worldly existence, my body has been eaten by large and
dreadful crocodiles and whales that are Time. I have been afflicted by the
waves called passion and attachment to the organ of taste. O Lakshminrsimha,
provide me the support of Your hands.

The tree of worldly existence arises from the seed of sin. Its numerous
branches are the endless actions (karmas), its leaves are the organs of the
body, its flower is passion (kaama), its fruit is sorrow. Having ascended this
tree, I am falling down. O compassionate Lakshminrsimha, provide me the support
of Your hands.

Worldly existence is a serpent which has opened its gigantic mouth, revealing
its most dreadful and sharp fangs filled with terrible venom. This venom has
burnt up my body and has destroyed it. O Lord whose vehicle is Garuda! O Lord
whose abode is the ocean of milk! O Shauri! O Lakshminrsimha, provide me the
support of Your hands.

In the forest conflagration of worldly existence (illusion), I have been burned
badly. Even every single hair on my body has been burned by large and fearful
columns of flames. In this condition I have sought the shelter of the cool lake
that is Your lotus feet. O Lakshminrsimha, provide me the support of Your
hands.

I am like a fish, caught in the net of worldly existence. My palate and head
have been severely torn apart by the fish-hook that is the objects of the
senses. O Lord in whom the world resides! O Lakshminrsimha, provide me the
support of Your hands.

The fearful rogue elephant of worldly illusion has struck me with its trunk,
completely crushing all my vital parts. I have been overcome by the
fear of worldy existence and death. O Destroyer of all suffering! O
Lakshminrsimha, provide me the support of Your hands.

O Lord! My great wealth called power of discrimination (viveka) has been stolen
away by the powerful thieves called senses. I am blind (without the power of
discrimination between things eternal and noneternal). In this condition, I
have been pushed into the dark well called delusion. O Lakshminrsimha, provide
me the support of Your hands.

I have been bound by hundreds of snares of worldly attachments. The soldiers of
Yama (Death) have cast their noose around my neck and are dragging me along,
threatening me. I am alone, frightened, and without any independence. O
compassionate Lakshmi nrsimha, provide me the support of Your hands.

O Lord of Lakshmi, from whose navel emanates a lotus, O Lord of gods, O Vishnu,
O Vaikuntha, O Krishna, O Madhusudana (slayer of Madhu), O Lotus-eyed One, O
Brahmanya (the most exalted knower of Brahman), O Keshava, O Janardana, O
Vasudeva, O Lakshmi Nrsimha, do You provide me the support of Your hands.

In one hand You hold the (sudarshana) discus; in another You hold the
(paanchajanya) conch; another hand rests on (the waist of) the daughter of the
ocean, Lakshmi; and the (fourth) hand signifies that You bestow boons and drive
away the fear (of the devotees). O Lakshmi nrsimha provide me the support of
Your hands.

Being drowned in the ocean of samsaaric existence, I am deluded. O Lord! O
Treasure of compassion! Turn your glance toward me who am helpless. (Just as
You) assumed the Supreme avatar for the purpose of eradicating the sorrow of
Prahlaada, do You, Lakshmi nrsimha, provide me the support of Your hands.

You dwell in the hearts of the best of the Bhagavatas, such as Prahlada,
Narada, Parashara, Pundarika, and Vyasa. You are like the desire-fulfilling
tree in protecting the loyal devotees. O Lakshmi nrsimha, provide me the
support of Your hands.

This auspicious hymn has been composed by Shankara who is the bee engaged in
drinking the nectar of the lotus feet of Shri Lakshminrsimha. In this world,
anyone who recites it will be filled with devotion to Hari and will attain the
undivided lotus feet of Brahman.

[Note: With this conclusion, I have fulfilled a long-chersihed desire of mine
to translate the Lakshmi nrsimha stotra. I would like to acknowledge my
gratitude to the Advaiti Prabodhaka Sangha, Dharwad, Karnataka, whose Kannada
translation of the shorter version of the stotra was useful in translating some
verses. The stotra appears in two versions. The shorter version has 13 verses,
and the longer version has 17. I have used the text of the longer version which
includes the two verses with references to Prahlada. Drink deep from the ocean
of nectar that is the lotus feet of Lakshminrsimha! ]
