- If you desire what is dear to your Lord's life, worship Narasimha constantly; the skilled maker of reflected ornaments produces only reflected ornament. O bee of the mind, you wander in vain on this joyless desert of becoming; worship, worship the honey of the lotus feet of Lakshmi-Nrisimha of spotless renown.
The mind that chases reflected pleasures in samsara builds only more reflection. Constant worship of Narasimha turns the bee-mind from the desert of becoming toward the nectar of the Self hidden in devotion.
