ॐ सत्यं ज्ञानसुखस्वरूपममलं क्षीराब्धिमध्येस्थितम्
योगारूढमतिप्रसन्नवदनं भूषासहस्रोज्वलम्।
तीक्ष्णं चक्रपीनाकशायकवरान् विभ्राणमर्कच्छवि।
छत्रं भूतफणीन्द्रमिन्दुधवलं लक्ष्मीनृसिंहं भजे॥
Om Satyam Jnanasukhasvarupamamalam Kshirabdhimadhyesthitam
Yogarudhamatiprasannavadanam Bhushasahasrojvalam।
Tikshnam Chakrapinakashayakavaran Vibhranamarkachchhavi।
Chhatram Bhutaphanindramindudhavalam Lakshminrisimham Bhaje॥
One who exists in the pure form of truth, knowledge and bliss, expressed and unexpressed. Who is seated in Yoga-Mudra in the middle of the ocean, whose facial expression is extremely pleasant. Who is adorned with various types of divine golden ornaments, whose hands are adorned with sharp Chakra and powerful bow and arrow. Whose form is as radiant as the Sun, who has a white umbrella like the Moon on His head and who is protected by Sheshanaga. Who is the destroyer of all sins and unrighteous people, I meditate on such extremely powerful Lord Shri Lakshmi-Narasimha.
