[Having ripped apart the chest of duHshAsana, bhIma prays to Lord narasimha who
made him do the act]
Oh! The embodiment of knowledge! Oh narasihma who got infuriated over sinners! Oh
the one who pounces on enemies like a lightening! Oh the sharp arrow who pierces and
kills enemies! He who worships You in accordance with scriptural injunctions, gathers
and fills oneself, complete insurmountable strength and the strength to defeat all. You,
who is the form of strength, forgiving mistakes, filling us with undefeatable strength,
staying with us, we would win those on the side of dhuryOdhana, the enemy of the world
and those elders like bhIShma, drONa and others who stood with him.

sUkta 1 mantra 2
manyurindro manyurevāsa devo manyurhotā varuṇojātavedāḥ |

victory to the gods; dwelling inside arjuna who was the amsha of iMdra brought victory
to the pAMDava-s. Being inside me who is the incarnation of prANa of the name iMdra
(iMdra nAmaka prANa) got me victory; He is only pradyumna of the name ‘iMdra’.
The same narasimha has come as the son of vasudEva, as vAsudEva kruShNa; He is
only vAsudEva the giver of liberation.
During praLaya He is the destroying force saMkarShaNa who sacrifices beings in the fire
of annihilation of this creation. Being inside yudhiShThira, the amsha of yamadharma
who sacrifices sinners in the fire of hell He was the one who directed the pAMDava-s.
Dwelling inside shaMtanu who was the incarnation of varuNa, He brought this kuru
dynasty to birth. Being inside bhIShma, drONa and others who executed the task of
commander-in-chief owing to the obligation towards dhuryOdhana, being inside karNa
who played commander due to his friendship with dhuryOdhana and dwelling within
shalya who took the role of leader of the army due to his hospitality, it was actually He
who led the kaurava army. It is narasimha who pervades everywhere in the world for
protection as aniruddha.
Dwelling within the amsha of agni, dRuShTadyumna it was He who led our army. He is
the one who is called jAtavEda being inside fire.
He is narAyaNa who knows all creation. Disclosing all Vedas He is the one who is
vEdavyAsa known as jAtavEda and who became our grandfather. Those people who are
contemplative sing the glory of such a narasimha. Oh the enraged narasimha! Pleased
by my penance , by my worship, love all the five of us in the same way and protect us.

pain? Aren’t You the one who can see everything through your own eyes? Aren’t You the
lone hero of the entire world who never bends to anyone? Aren’t You the one who
protect us pardoning our mistakes? Give us and our armies the strength to defeat our
enemies.

the supreme might that doesn’t succumb to others. Oh the one talked by the Vedas, Oh
narasimha, in this friction of war, along with the zest to fight show us friendship kindly.
sUkta 2 mantra 7
saṃsṛṣṭaṃ dhanamubhayaṃ samākṛtamasmabhyaṃ dattāṃvaruṇaśca manyuḥ |

saM + sRuShTaM | dhanaM | ubhayaM | sam + AkRutaM|
asmabhyaM | dattAM | varuNaH | cha | manyuH||
bhiyaM | dadhAnAH | hRudayEShu | shatravaH|
parA | jitAsaH | apa | ni | layaMtAM||
saM + sRuShTaM = gathered, dhanaM = wealth, ubhayaM = both, sam + AkRutaM =
brought after winning,
asmabhyaM = for us, dattAM = give us, varuNaH = aniruddha, cha = and, manyuH =
narasimha,
bhiyaM = fear, dadhAnAH = carrying, hRudayEShu = inside the heart, shatravaH =
enemies,
parA + jitAsaH = having been defeated, apa ni layaMtAM = let them drown in misery.
Gathering both kinds of wealth, let aniruddha -the sustainer and narasimha – the
destroyer, give us after winning. Let our enemies get filled with fear, get defeated
completely and fade away into dark misery.
