Sthothra Special

I've always been told that there are some mantras I should say to ward of bad omens and help settle good ones. As a good kid i would memorise what I could and the rest were book reference. But sometimes I would this how do I know if I'm saying it right? How do I know that I'm saying what needs to be said? What if i'm invertantly attracting bad omens instead of good ones?!?!? Ok, that was a little overboard but you get the drift. Now I have yet to find all the others that I have been parotting away but this is one that I found and tried to implement. I even went to the level of making my own tune for it. But since I dont own a soundcloud account and suck at singing, we'll stick to the meaning, shall we? :D

Sri runa vimochana nrusimha sthothram
(The prayer to Lord Narasimha to get rid of debts.)

Translated by: P.R.Ramachander
(N.B. the debt could be explained also as the debt of Karma, which we have to get rid off to attain salvation.)

Deva karya sidhyartham , sabha sthambha samudbhavam,
Sri nrusimham mahaveeram namami runa mukthaye. 1

For the purpose of completion of the need of the devas,
You appeared from a pillar in a palace,
Oh Narasimha who is a great warrior,
I salute you to get rid of my debts.

Lakshmyalingitha vamangam, bhakthanaam vara dayakam,
Sri nrusimham mahaveeram namami runa mukthaye. 2

Goddess Lakshmi embraces your left side,
And you give boons to your devotees,
Oh Narasimha who is a great warrior,
I salute you to get rid of my debts.

Aantramaladaram , sankha charabjayudha darinam,
Sri nrusimham mahaveeram namami runa mukthaye. 3

God who wears the inner part of your enemy as garland,
God who holds conch wheel, lotus and other weapons,
Oh Narasimha who is a great warrior,
I salute you to get rid of my debts

Smaranath sarva papagnam, khadruja visha nasanam,
Sri nrusimham mahaveeram namami runa mukthaye. 4

God whose very thought kills all sins,
God who destroys poison of all snakes,
Oh Narasimha who is a great warrior,
I salute you to get rid of my debts.

Simhanadenaahath, digdanthi bhayanasanam,
Sri nrusimham mahaveeram namami runa mukthaye. 5

God of a terrible lion like roar,
Who removes fear of elephants, which guard all directions,
Oh Narasimha who is a great warrior,
I salute you to get rid of my debts.

Prahlada varadam, srresam, daithyeswara vidharinam,
Sri nrusimham mahaveeram namami runa mukthaye. 6

God who was kind to Prahlada,
The lord of Lakshmi and he who ripped apart the king of demons,
Oh Narasimha who is a great warrior,
I salute you to get rid of my debts

Krooragrahai peedithanam bhakthanam abhaya pradham,
Sri nrusimham mahaveeram namami runa mukthaye. 7

God who gives freedom from fear to devotes,
Who are being troubled by cruel planets,
Oh Narasimha who is a great warrior,
I salute you to get rid of my debts.

Veda vedantha yagnesam , brahma rudradhi vandhitham,
Sri nrusimham mahaveeram namami runa mukthaye. 8

God who is the lord of Vedas, Vedanta and sacrifices,
Who is worshipped by Brahma, Rudra and others,
Oh Narasimha who is a great warrior,
I salute you to get rid of my debts

Ya idam padathe nithyam , runa mochana samgnakam,
Anruni jayathe sathyo , danam seegramavapnuyath. 9

He who reads daily this prayer for getting rid of debts,
Would surely become debtless and would soon earn lot of money.

No matter how big of a hot shot you, it doesn't hurt to have an extra hand.
