kesava dhrta-narahari-rupa jaya jagadisa hare ||” 

“तव करा-कमला-वरे नखम अद्भुत-श्रृंगम, 

दलित-हिरण्यकशिपु-तनु-भ्रंगम, 

केसव धृत-नरहरि-रूप जया जगदीसा हरे ||” 

Meaning: O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Hari, who have assumed the form of half-man and half-lion, all glories to You! Just as one can easily crush a wasp between one’s fingernails, so in the same way the body of the wasp-like demon Hiranyakasipu has been ripped apart by the wonderful pointed nails on your beautiful lotus hands.’ 

  
🌻Kamasikashtakam🌻 

  
“Tvayi raksati raksakaih kimanyaih, 
tvayi caraksati raksakaih kimanyaih
iiti niscita dhih srayami nityam, 
nrhare vegavati taṭasrayam tvam॥” 

त्वयि रक्षति रक्षकैः किमन्यैः
त्वयि च रक्षति रक्षकैः किमन्यैः।
इति निश्चितधीः श्रयामि नित्यं
नृहरे वेगवतीटाश्रयं त्वाम्॥

Meaning: ‘O Kamasikha Narasimha! You are sarva sakthan. When you are resolved to protect some one, where is the need to seek the protection of anyone else? When you are resolved not to protect some one, which other person is capable of protecting us? There is no one. Knowing this fundamental truth, I have resolved to offer my saraṇagati at your lotus feet alone that rest at the banks of Vegavati river.
