Prahlāda Mahārāja loudly chanted the holy name of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva. May Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, roaring for His devotee Prahlāda Mahārāja, protect us from all fear of dangers created by stalwart leaders in all directions through poison, weapons, water, fire, air and so on. May the Lord cover their influence by His own transcendental influence. May Nṛsiṁhadeva protect us in all directions and in all corners, above, below, within and without.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
May Nṛsiṁha, who completely destroys fear in this world by his roaring and who swallows all power by his effulgence, protect us in all ordinal and cardinal directions, up and down, all around, inside and outside. Though having concluded his prayers for protection by various forms of the Lord, he again prays with one mantra for protection from all unfavorable things to the terrifying form of Nṛsiṁhadeva. The verb “please protect us” should be added. Or Nārasiṁha can mean the devotee of Narasiṁha, Prahlāda. In that case the meaning would be “May Prahlāda who destroys fear in this world by loudly chanting the name of Nṛsiṁha, who swallows up the powers of all elements, weapons, poison and the elephants of the directions by his own powers, please protect us!”
