Let me offer my obeisances unto Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, who is always enlightening Prahlāda Mahārāja within his heart and who always kills the nescience that attacks the devotees. His mercy is distributed like moonshine, and His face is like that of a lion. Let me offer my obeisances unto Him again and again.

<div class="quote_translation">
“‘All glories to Nṛsiṁhadeva! All glories to Nṛsiṁhadeva, who is the Lord of Prahlāda Mahārāja and, like a honeybee, is always engaged in beholding the lotuslike face of the goddess of fortune.’
</div>
<div class="text">
The goddess of fortune is always embraced by Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva. This is mentioned in the commentary on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam written by the great commentator Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī. The following verse was composed by Śrīdhara Svāmī in his commentary on the Tenth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam ([[Vanisource:SB 10.87.1|SB 10.87.1]]):

<div class="quote_verse">
:vāg-īśā yasya vadane lakṣmīr yasya ca vakṣasi 
:yasyāste hṛdaye samvit taṁ nṛsiṁham ahaṁ bhaje
</div>

“Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva is always assisted by Sarasvatī, the goddess of learning, and He is always embracing the goddess of fortune to His chest. The Lord is always complete in knowledge within Himself. Let us offer obeisances unto Nṛsiṁhadeva.” Similarly, in his commentary on the First Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam ([[Vanisource:SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]), Śrīdhara Svāmī describes Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva in this way:

<div class="quote_verse">
:prahlāda-hṛdayāhlādaṁ bhaktāvidyā-vidāraṇam 
:śarad-indu-ruciṁ vande pārīndra-vadanaṁ harim
</div>

“Let me offer my obeisances unto Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, who is always enlightening Prahlāda Mahārāja within his heart and who always kills the nescience that attacks the devotees. His mercy is distributed like moonshine, and His face is like that of a lion. Let me offer my obeisances unto Him again and again.”
