An invocation to Narasimha, the lion among heroes — an ocean of compassion, remover of fear, beyond all qualities. He tears out by the root the tree of worldly bondage for those who take refuge, and Vijaya Vittala's Narasinga turns a gracious glance upon the brave.

Hiranyakashipu tormented the child Prahlada day and night, inflicting countless sufferings by land, serpent, and sea, seeking his death. The boy cried out with folded hands to the merciful Lord of the universe, praised by the Vedas and adored by devotees age after age.

The instant He heard, He comforted His devotee and vowed to protect him swiftly, filling every heart with joy — then burst forth, splitting the palace pillar in human form: the rare and precious name, Vijaya Vittala.

A roar of fury that cracks open the shell of the cosmic egg — leaping up with a shriek, grinding His fangs in rage, eyes blazing blood-red, dreadful as ten million thunderbolts. Guileless, mighty Vijaya Vittala guards the hosts of heaven.
Verse 5 — बॊब्बिरिये वीर ध्वनियिंद तनिगिडि हब्बि मुंचोणि…

At that heroic thunder the forecourt blazed with leaping fire, the sun gasped, the lotus trembled, and the oceans surged and overflowed. Brahma and Bhava cowered in fright as the sound filled the unmanifest ether — then our own Vijaya Vittala stepped out of the pillar, twofold in form.
Verse 6 — घडिघडिसुत कोटि सिडिलु गिरिगॆ बंदु हॊडॆदंतॆ चीरि…

Like ten million thunderbolts striking a mountain, He roared, sprang, seized the demon, laid him across His thigh, and at dusk on the threshold tore open the belly with His claws, wearing the entrails as a garland — the exultant Lord who swiftly rescues all who surrender.
Verse 7 — उरिमसॆगॆ चतुर्दश धरणि तल्लणिसलु परमेष्टि…

When the fourteen worlds trembled with burning rage, Brahma and the gods pleaded with Goddess Lakshmi; moved by compassion, He bowed at her feet with His devotee and grew perfectly calm, showering grace while gods rained flowers and drums resounded. Thus He lifted the gods' affliction and guarded the boy — a story fearful to the wicked and protective to the good.
Verse 8 — प्रह्लादवरद प्रसन्न क्लेशभंजन्न महहविषॆ…
