1.Udaya ravi sahasra dyotitam ruksha veeksham
Pralaya jaladhi nadam kalpa krid vahni vaktram
Sura pati ripu vakshash cheda rakthokshitangam
Pranata bhaya haram tham narasimham namami

1.I salute  that Narasimha  who destroys   frear,

  who looks like  one thousand rising suns,Who has  an angry look ,

 who makes sound like  ocean  of deluge  ,Whose   throat  is like    the fire  at deluge,

And Who  tore the chest   of the enemy of  Indra and  drenched  his body with  that  blood.

2.Pralaya  ravi  karala akara  ruk  cakra  valam

2.Burn, burn  the  inauspicious   habits  within me , Oh Narasimha,

Who   is as fearsome as the   sun at deluge, who lights the horizon,

Whose great luster   fills   all  the directions,

Who   laughs  so loudly  that   great fear is created  among asuras  by his anger.

3. Burn, burn  the  inauspicious   habits  within me , Oh Narasimha,

Due to the loud noise created by  your  foot step which are passionate  and violent,

Which makes the blood of those  enemies    wet  your   feet.

4.Tava Ghana ghana  ghosho  ghoram aghraya jangha

The     Asura crowd  flees  making     fearful sounds like thunder.
