1.Lakshmi kadaksha sarasi ruha raja hamsam
Pakshindra shaila bhavanam bhava nasham eesham
Gokshira sara ghana sara patira varnam
Vande kripaa nidhim ahobala narasimham

I salute the treasure of mercy, the Narasimha of Ahobila,
Who is the royal swan playing in the pond of Lakshmi’s glances,
Who lives on Garudadhri, Who is the god destroying re birth,
Who is the colour of cow’s milk, camphor and snow.
Another name for Ahobila.

2.Adyantha shunyam ajam avyayam aprameyam
Aditya chandra shikhi lochanam aadi devam
Abja mukhabja mada lolupa matta bhringam
Vande kripa nidhim ahobala narasimham

I salute the treasure of mercy, the Narasimha of Ahobila,
Who does not have beginning, death, birth, change or definition,
Who has sun, moon and fire as eyes, who is primeval,
And who is like the inebriated bee flying round lotus face of Lakshmi.

3.Kotira koti ghatithojjvala kanti kantham
keyura hara mani kundala mandithangam
Cudagra ranjita sudhakara purna bimbham
Vande kripa nidhim ahobala narasimham

I salute the treasure of mercy, the Narasimha of Ahobila
Who shines with the luster of well tied thick shiny hair.
Who wears crown, necklaces, ear studs and shines,
And who is like the attractive face of the full moon.

Kreeda vilola hrudayam vibhudendra vandyam
Hamsatmakam paramahamsa mano viharam

I salute the treasure of mercy, the Narasimha of Ahobila,
Who is fortunate the god who was Varaha, Vamana and Narasimha,
Who has a heart full of frolic, who is worshipped by kings of devas,
Who incarnated as swan and, lives in the mind of great sages.

Vrndarakalaya vinodanam ujjvalangam

I salute the treasure of mercy, the Narasimha of Ahobila,
Whose feet was the reason for birth of river Ganga,

I salute the treasure of mercy, the Narasimha of Ahobila,
Who is attractive being decorated by the black Thulasi leaves,
Who has an attractive great form and the beloved of Goddess Lakshmi and the earth,
Who is worshipped by king of mantras and creates insult to the asuras.
