Word breakdown

श्रीमत्पयोनिधिनिकेतनचक्रपाणे
O auspicious one, abode of the ocean of milk, chakra in hand
भोगीन्द्रभोगमणिराजितपुण्यमूर्ते
O holy form adorned with the serpent-king's gem
योगीश शाश्वत शरण्य भवाब्धिपोत
O Lord of yogis, eternal, refuge, boat across the ocean of becoming
लक्ष्मीनृसिंह मम देहि करावलम्बम्
O Lakshmi-Nrisimha, grant me your supporting hand

Lakshmi-Nrisimha on the ocean of milk with chakra in hand is the eternal refuge and boat across saṃsāra. The supporting hand sought in prayer is the Self reaching out to itself through devotion.
