Narasimha Nakha Sthuthi
(Prayer of the nails of Narasimha)
By
Madhvacharya
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Among the many great works of saint Madhvacharya , the proponent of the Dwaitha system of philosophy, this very small prayer extolling the nails of the man lion form of Lord Vishnu stands out. It was written as an introduction for the Hari Vayu Sthuthi which was written by his disciple SriTrivikramacharya.)
Om panthwasman puru hootha vairi bhalavan mathanga madyath ghata,
Kumbochadri vipata nadhikpatu prathyeka vajrayutha,
Srimath kanteera vasya prathatha sunakharaa dharitha arathi dhoora,
Pradhwastha dhwantha santhi pravathitha manasa bhavitha bhoori bhagai. 1
Oh Lord Narasimha who is with Goddess Lakshmi,
Please protect all of us with your omnipotent nails,
For Just like a ferocious lion attacks herd of elephants,
And splits apart their heads with its nails,
And the Vajrayudha of Indra splits highest mountains
Your nails kill the asuras who are like exhilarated elephants,
And the same precious nails of Sri Narasimha with Lakshmi,
Destroyed and removed the duties of a Brahmana,
And solved the darkness of poor knowledge,
So that the devas became with a calm mind,
Along with Brahma and all the other Gods.
Lakshmi kanta samantatopi kalyanai veshithesthusamam,
Pashyamittamavasthu duritharathopasthamv rasayosthama,
Yadroshakkara daksha nethra kutila pranthopi agni sphurat,
Kandhyothopama vishpulinga basitha brahmesa shakrothkara. 2
Hey consort of Lakshmi, I do not find any one equal to you in showering graces,
And see you as something even at a distance, as the king of all mixtures- ashtama rasa.
And if those eyes of yours which are angry and burning, opens slightly in a curve,
It sends sparks that look tiny like a glow worm but is more like the glowing Sun God,
An these are capable of burning several ions of Brahma, Shiva and Indra.
Ithi Srimad Ananda Theertha bhagwat padacharya virachitham,
Sri Nrusimha nakah Sthuthi sampoornam
Thus ends the prayer to Nails of Lord Narasimha
Composed by Srimad Ananda theertha (Madhvacharya)

Doha
Prem sahit gahi dhyan mahan, hridai bicha Jagdish,
Arpit Shaligram kahan, kari Tulasi nit shish.
Kshan bhangur tanu jani, kari ahankar parihar.
Sar rup Ishvar lakhai, taji asar sansar,
Satya shodh kari ur gahai, ek Brahma Onkar,
Atma bodh hovai tabai, milai mukti ke dvar.
Shanti aur sadbhav kahan, jab ur phulahin phul,
Chalisa phal lahahin jan, rahahi Ish anukul.
Ek path jan nit karai, Vishnu dev chalis,
Jai Sri Vishnu !
Char padarath navahun nidhi, deyan Dvarikadhis
This prayer should be sung with love ,
After making the great Lord sit in your heart,
Basil flowers should be offered to Shaligram,
Understanding that the body is transient you should leave out all pride,
And then Know that the lord is the only reality and the world is due to him,
Also do basic study on truth and find that “Om” is Brahmam,
And then you will understand who you are and Would reach the gates of salvation,
And if peace and goodwill are there , You would definitely get the fruits,
And if you know these forty verses, God will be on your side.
If these forty verses are read daily and you wish victory to Vishnu,
The Lord Of Dwaraka would give you four rewards and nine treasures.

We surrender after singing about him to the Ganapathy,
Who was merciful in war, who has become an idol and a pilgrimage centre ,

8.Srimad chidananda guru swaroopa,
Sri thyaga rajangi Saroja yugme,
Anantha bodha pradham asthakakhyam,
Stotram subhkthya krutham arpitham mayaa.

With great devotion , which is capable,
Of giving rise to endless pleasure,
At the lotus like feet of Thyagaraja,
Who is the form of teacher of divine joy.
