Take Shelter of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva Everywhere
“ ‘Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva is here, and He is also there on the opposite side. Wherever I go, there I see Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva. He is outside and within my heart. Therefore I take shelter of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, the original Supreme Personality of Godhead.’”

- The prayer sees Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva here, on the opposite side, and wherever the speaker goes.
- Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva is both outside and within the heart.
