- संसारभीकरकरीन्द्रकराभिघात
- body pressed by the terrible stroke of the elephant-hand of saṃsāra, destroyer of all misery
- निष्पीड्यमानवपुषः सकलार्तिनाश । कलार्धितस्य
- O afflicted in part
- प्राणप्रयाणभवभीतिसमाकुलस्य
- confounded by fear of death and birth at the departure of life
- लक्ष्मीनृसिंह मम देहि करावलम्बम्
- O Lakshmi-Nrisimha, grant me your supporting hand
Saṃsāra crushes the body like an elephant while death-fear confounds the mind. The Lord who destroys misery is the deathless Self beyond birth and departure.
