srivyasa uvaca —
svapurusamabhiviksya pasahastam vadati yamah kila tasya karnamule ।
parihara madhusudanaprapannan prabhurahamanyanrnam na vaisnavanam ॥ 1 ॥
ahamamaraganarcitena dhatra yama iti lokahitahite niyuktah ।
hariguruvimukhan prasasmi martyan haricaranapranatannamaskaromi ॥ 2 ॥
sugatimabhilasami vasudevadahamapi bhagavate sthitantaratma ।
madhuvadhavasago’smi na svatantrah prabhavati samyamane mamapi krsnah ॥ 3 ॥
bhagavati vimukhasya nasti siddhirvisamamrtam bhavatiti nedamasti ।
varsasatamapiha pacyamanam vrajati na kañcanatamayah kadacit ॥ 4 ॥
nahi sasikalusacchavih kadacidviramati no ravitamupaiti candrah ।
bhagavati ca haravananyaceta bhrsamalino’pi virajate manusyah ॥ 5 ॥
mahadapi suvicarya lokatattvam bhagavadupastimrte na siddhirasti ।
suragurusudrdhaprasadadau tau haricaranau smaratapavargahetoh ॥ 6 ॥
subhamidamupalabhya manusatvam sukrtasatena vrthendriyarthahetoh ।
ramayati kurute na moksamargam dahayati candanamasu bhasmahetoh ॥ 7 ॥
mukulitakarakudmalaih surendraih satatanamaskrtapadapankajo yah ।
avihatagataye sanatanaya jagati janim harate namo’grajaya ॥ 8 ॥
yamastakamidam punyam pathate yah srnoti va ।
mucyate sarvapapebhyo visnulokam sa gacchati ॥ 9 ॥
itidamuktam yamavakyamuttamam mayadhuna te haribhaktivarddhanam ।
punah pravaksyami puratanim katham bhrgostu pautrena ca ya pura krta ॥ 10 ॥
iti srinarasimhapurane yamastakanama navamo’dhyayah ॥ 9 ॥
