Word breakdown
- संसारयूथ गजसंहतिसिंहदंष्ट्रा
- afraid, with saṃsāra's herd and elephant-host as lion-fangs
- भीतस्य दुष्टमैदैत्य भयङ्करेण
- O terrifying wicked demon, by you
- प्राणप्रयाण भवभीति निवारणेन
- by removing fear of death and birth at life's departure
- लक्ष्मीनृसिंह मम देहि करावलम्बम्
- O Lakshmi-Nrisimha, grant me your supporting hand
Saṃsāra's herd threatens like a lion's fangs; the Lord terrifies only evil. Removing fear of death is the gift of knowing the Self that neither is born nor dies.
