TRANSLATION
1)
I offer my obeisances to Lord Narasimha,
who gives joy to Prahlada Maharaja and whose nails
are like chisels on the stone like chest of the demon Hiranyakasipu.
2)
Lord Nrsimha is here and also there. Wherever I go
Lord Nrsimha is there. He is in the heart and is
outside as well. I surrender to Lord Nrsimha, the
origin of all things and the supreme refuge.
REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:
All
devotees conclude the prayer with the fourth verse of Pralaya
Payodhi Jale (Dasavatara stotram) by Srila Jayadeva Goswami, as presented below.

3T)
O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of half-man, half-lionl All glories to You! lust 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.
Mayapura
devotees sing the Om
Hrim Pram Ksraum
(Nrsimha kavaca maha-mantra) before singing the above verses.
Outside of ISKCON, some
devotees will include a verse between 1 and 2:
“vāg-īśā yasya
vadane lakṣmīr yasya ca vakṣasi
yasyāste hṛdaye saḿvit
taḿ nṛsiḿham ahaḿ
bhaje”
In
His mouth the goddess Suddha-Sarasvati is always
present, on His chest Laksmi-devi always resides, and
within His heart special affection for His devotees is always manifest – I
worship that Nrsimhadeva.
