Narasimha Maha-Mantra ( Mantrarajapada Stotram)

Image courtesy - google images

It is said that, Lord Narasimha is the "Poorna" avataara and one of the most powerful  incarnation of Lord Vishnu. I am truly blessed to have Lord Narasimha as our "Kul Deva". The Shloka or mantra (holy chants) are one of the forms mainly written in Sanskrit - with an intension to praise or worship God. One such chant is this Narasimha Maha Mantra.
 
I learned this from my grand father (Late. Srinivas Padiyar). According to him, this is the most powerful Shloka of its kind. I searched over the net to get more information on this. But in most of the relevant sites, I could find only the first shloka, which is believed to be the most powerful of all. The continuation of this mantra is not found anywhere over the net (I couldn't find...). 

I believe, the entire shloka written here is one of the rarest to find. May Lord Narasimha bless you all.

Update: One of the readers gave me link which has the meaning to these shlokas. I have incorporated the changes - corrected the grammatical mistake, added few missing lines and the meaning.

This shloka is from the Ahirbudhnya Samhita, a Paancharaatra text and is told by Lord Parameshwarar in praise of Lakshmi Narasimha.
