Written by Sri Madhvacharya |
|
This stotra , in two stanzas,
was composed by Sri Madhvacharya with
instructions that it should be
recited before and at the close of reciting "Hari Vayu stuti' of Sri
Trivikrama panditacharya,composed by him when he had the darshan of the
three avatars of Vayu worshipping the Lord as Rama,Krishna and Vedavyasa
at the sametime is well known to all Madhvas. The stotra is in praise of
the 'finger nails' of Lord Nrisimha killing Hiranyakasipu and protecting
the Devatas (and Prahlada). In the second stanza Srimadacharya ,by
starting with the word 'Laxmikantha' and ending with
'Bhasita Brahmesha shakrotkarah' has stated that Narasimha is superior
to all the devatas including Laxmi and He can destroy the world at His
will.I have not given the sloka or its meaning as it is already given by
Sri Srisha Rao (lis08 in the postings). Sri (late)
P. Vishnutirtha, a well known pandit, has written the meaning of this
stotra in detail,and the book runs
into a few hundred pages(kannada).
