नृसिंह महामन्त्रः Narasimha Maha Mantra
nṛsiṃha mahāmantraḥ
A single potent verse invoking Narasimha, the man-lion form of Vishnu, saluted as fierce and valiant, blazing and many-faced, terrifying yet auspicious, the very death of death. Short enough to be held in memory, it is repeated as japa or recited daily, above all for protection, to steady the mind in fear, and to guard against illness, danger and harm.
