Brahma's Stuti to Narasimha

Verse 1

नतोऽस्म्यनन्ताय दुरन्तशक्तये विचित्रवीर्याय पवित्रकर्मणे । विश्वस्य सर्गस्थितिसंयमान् गुणैः स्वलीलया सन्दधते अव्ययात्मने ॥

nato'smy anantha:ya duranta-sakthaye vicitra-vi:rya:ya pavitra-karmane | visvasya sarga-sthiti-samyama:n gunaih sva-li:laya: sandadhate avyaya:thmane ||

I bow to the Infinite One — of measureless power, marvelous prowess, sanctifying deeds — who through the gunas effortlessly sustains the creation, preservation, and dissolution of the universe by his own play; to the Imperishable Self.

Bha:gavatha 7.8.41 — the opening verse of Brahma's stuti.

Verse 2

त्वं नो दूर इति प्रोक्तस्त्वमेवासि सदाश्रयः । यन्न पश्यन्ति निकटे लोकाः क्रोधादिमोहिताः ॥

thvam no dhu:ra iti prokta tvam e:va:si sada:srayah | yan na pasyanthi nikate lo:ka:h krodha:di-mo:hitha:h ||

Though it is said 'thou art far from us,' thou art the ever-present refuge — whom the worlds, deluded by anger and the rest, fail to see though he stands close.

A condensed paraphrase of the Brahma-stuti theme of immanence; verses 7.8.43–7.8.50 of the Bha:gavatha are present in the source but have been omitted here pending verse-by-verse verification.
