Always dwell and keep repeatedly thinking of the sweetness of the pure lotus feet of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha. You are wandering aimlessly in the worthless mundane worldly existence. Listen, my mind, in case you wish to earn the love and affection of the self, you should always worship the man-lion form of Sri Narasimha Before embarking on looking into the mirror (object – liberation), the subject always pre-decorates itself (fortifying self with prayers).
