Word breakdown

प्रह्लादमानससरोजवासभृङ्ग!
O bee dwelling in the lotus of Prahlāda's mind
गङ्गातरङ्गधवळाङ्ग रमास्थिताङ्क!
O white-bodied one like Gaṅgā's wave, with Ramā on your lap
शृङ्गार सुन्दरकिरीटलसद्वराङ्ग
O beautiful one with shining crown and excellent limbs
लक्ष्मीनृसिंह मम देहि करावलम्बम्
O Lakshmi-Nrisimha, grant me your supporting hand

The Lord as bee in Prahlāda's heart shows devotion's inward abode. Beauty, Gaṅgā's purity, and Lakshmi's presence image the gracious form that draws the mind to the Self.
