tava kara-kamala-vare nakham adbhuta-çåìgam
dalita-hiraëyakaçipu-tanu-bhåìgam
keçava dhåta-narahari-rüpa jaya jagadéça hare

Translation

O Jagadéçvara! O Hari! O Keçava! You have assumed the form of Nåsiàha, part man and part lion. With the wonderful, sharp nails of your excellent lotus hands, you tear apart the body of Hiraëyakaçipu, just as a bumblebee tears a flower. May you be victorious!
