Pallavi:
Narasimha Mamava Bhagavan Nityam
Oh Lord (“Bhagavan”) NARASIMHA! Please protect (“ava”) me (“maam”) always (“nityam”).

Anupallavi:
Haravirinchavasavanutha Sauyasindho
Athirabhasanihathasura Dinabandho
You are the ocean (“sindho”) of heroism (“Saurya”), being worshipped (“nuta”) by SIVA (“hara”), BRAHMA (“virincha”) and INDRA (“vasava”).
You annihilate (“bhasa-nihata”) the demons (“asura”) with lightning speed (“athira”) and you are the friend (“bandho”) of the dejected (“dina”) ones.

Charanams:

Kanaka kashipu vanadava bodhakara deva mahanubhava
sanakadi muni jana sharana pavitra janitari bhaya gatra sarasanetra

You are the Hiranyakasipu what the fire is to the forest. You are the source of all knowledge, your glory is infinite. You are the sacred one, you are the refuge to all sages like Sanka and others. You posses a ferocious form which creates fear in the hearts of enemies. Your eyes resemble the lotus petal.

Karadritha Sitahethiyatha Bhoori Kalushavaridha Kulajatha Bharitha Kriparasa Paripalithebha Paramangalasobha Pankajanabha

You sport sharp weapons (“sitahethiyatha”) in your hands (“Kara-drutha”).
You disperse the sins (“kalusha-varidha”) of your devotees (“kula-jatha”) just as the wind disperses the clouds (“bharitha”).
You personify compassion (“Krupa-rasa”). You saved GAJENDRA (“paripali-thebha”).
Oh PANKAJANABHA!
You shine gloriously (“sobha”) with supreme auspiciousness (“Parama-mangala”).
