(Stotram by Sri Rudran about SrI lakshmi nrusimhan)
INTRODUCTION

ANTRAR
AAJAP
ADAS
TO
TRAM:
SrI Nrusimhan has many mantrams that assure us our protection from all
afflictions. Mantram has been defined as "mananAm traayatE iti mantra:".
Mantram is defined here as that on recitation and japam protects the one who
recites it. Among the many mantrams associated with Sri Nrusimhan , the One
revered as "Mantra Raajan" is the most powerful one. It was created by the
Sarvajn~an, Sri Rudran (Sankaran) and is housed in ISvara samhitai as Mantra
Raaja pada stotram.
This mantram is also known as Sri NrusimhAnutup Mantram and is set in
anushtup meter, which always has 32 aksharams. Sri Rudran, who is
omniscient has assembled these 32 aksharams in to 12 padams and housed each
padam into a slOkam and presented it as a stOtram to Lord Narasimhan.
In this stOtram, Rudran makes it clear that Sri Nrusimha BhagavAn is MahA
VishNu sabdavAchyan. Rudran pays tribute to Lord Narasimhan as the owner of
all the wealth (vibhUtis) in the world represented as Sentient and
insentient. With the conviction that Lord Narasimhan is the Sarva Seshi
(Uncontested Supreme Master of All ), Sri Rudran performs SaraNAgati at the
sacred feet of SrI Lakshmi Nrusimhan.

The Mantra Raaja Pada StOtram can be recited by all during the three
sandhyaa kaalams of the day and on days in which the constellation of Swaati is
in ascendance. Once one is received as upadEsam from a SadAcAryan, the
NrusimhAnushtup mantram can be used for Mantra Japam during PradOsha
Kaalam. The phalans arising from the japam of this mantram are many:
"smaraNAt pApagnam", destroyer of all sins by sheer recall of His name
spelled out in the Mantra Raaja Pada stOtram
"krUra grahai pIDitAnAm abhaya pradam", it provides fearlessness for
those tormented by fierce navagrahams
Driving away all ghosts and goblins as well as all physical illness and taapatrayams.
blessing one with what is desired as boons (VaancitArtha pradhAyakam) and
making us objects of His limitless kaaruNyam (apAra
KaruNaa Sindu) and accepting our SaraNAgati for Moksham.

When HiraNya Kasipu hit the stambham and asked his son if his Lord was there,
Lord Narasimhan jumped out of that pillar with a rare scream that shattered
the ears of HiraNya Kasipu (karNau samAcUrNayan gOra: tava rava: abhut).
This sound was never heard before by anyone and shook the heart of HiraNyan
with an indescribable shaking and made Brahma Devan shudder at His Aasanam
at Satya lOkam (daitya hrdayE kaScana kampa: sampapAta;
ambhOjabhUrvishTarAt calita:)
ugram vishNum aham namAmi - To that ugra Narasimhan jumping out of the
ugra stambham at Ahobilam, adiyEn's salutations!

Our Lord Narasimhan took a form, which was neither human nor animal; Above
His neck, He had the face of a Lion (Simham) and below the body of a man
(Naran). He killed HiraNyan neither during the day time nor night time but
destroyed him during sandyA kAlam, which is neither day nor night. Our Lord
Killed HiraNyan on the steps of the palace, which is neither inside nor outside
the house of HiraNyan. Our Lord killed HiraNyan neither with lifeless weapons
nor any living thing but He used His nails that has no life of its own and yet it
was alive in the sense that it grows. All these boons and their protections
offered by the itara dEvatAs were bypassed by the MahA Veeran Lord
Narasimhan this way and His avatAra Kaaryam was fulfilled.

Meaning:
adiyEn bows before the powerful VishNu-Narasimhan, who comprehends every
thing in the universe that exists at any time and all times, who can see in all
directions although He does not have indriyams to do these "impossible tasks."
This namaskAram and reference to cognize things without appropriate
indriyams is a distillation of several upanishadic mantrams. about the Supreme
Brahaman
Commentary:
The Mundaka Upanishad (2.2.7) states for instance in this context: "y> svR}>
svRiv*SyE; mihma uiv -ya: sarvajn~a: sarva-vidyasyaisha mahimA bhuvi" ("The
ParamAtman, who is Omniscient and who is aware of all aspects of all entities
and who has glory on this earth is established in the supreme space" as
VaikuNTha kanDIravan). He is able to see without eyes; He moves without legs.
He tastes without tongue. He hears without ears.

abhinayam of terror (nATita raudra cEshTita vibhu) is worshipped with faith by
PrahlAdhan as: "rUpam nrsimha vibhayAya janA: smaranti". Oh Lord! All people
meditate on You to remove their fears of all kinds.

All devotees of Parama-Purushan Narasimhan seek His sacred feet of their

Rudran states that He is conducting himself as the servant to Lord Narasimha
and as One who has performed Prapatti to Him as His Master
Commentary:
PrahlAdan had atyanta Bhakti to the Lord. That is why the food mixed withsevere poison became medicine to PrahlAdan on consumption. The angry
elephants could not hurt him through their trampling. He could not sink, when
he was thrown into the ocean with a stone tied to him. The most poisonous
serpents could not harm him with their bites. He could not be killed by the
tridents aimed at him. He had his mind focused on You and hence nothing could
harm him
