Remarks/ Extra Information:
This
song was recorded sometime in mid to late 1970s to early/mid 1980s. This song
was from the Golden Avatara tape “Nrsimha
bhajans” which were a collection of Nrsimha prayer (“namaste narasimhaya”) from all over the world. However, there was a
nice recording of this song. It was definitely worth noting here.
The
rendering of this song is in Raga Bhimphalasi in Visva Vandita Tala.
