Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(I am from a village  called Chelakkara  in Kerala.Like all the  people of Chelakkara , I am greatly   devoted to Lord  Lakshmi Narasimha Murthy   who has a  temple in our village.Today is my wedding anniversary  and early morning  , some one from my village   sent this great prayer  to me for translation. I thought   that  my Lord Narasimha Murthy   was   telling me  , that  he is blessing me   and he was ordering me to translate  this great prayer in mAlayalam .It has just flowed from some one’s heart .I do not know , who it is .My thaks are due to him and also the lady whom my God chose   to send this  prayer to me.
