Narasimha Kavacham Meaning in English
Salutations to Narasimha, the giver of joy to Prahlada, whose nails are the chisels that tore apart the chest of Hiranyakashipu like stone. Narasimha is before me, Narasimha is behind me — wherever I go, Narasimha is there. Narasimha is outside, Narasimha is in my heart — I take refuge in the primordial Narasimha.
