The Exposition of Nṛsiṁha Worship-Mantras, Nyāsa, Mudrās, Yantras, Kavaca, and Nṛsiṁha Gāyatrī
ब्रह्मा मुनिस्तु गायत्री छन्दोऽनुष्टुबुदाहृतम् । देवता नृहरिश्चास्य सर्वेष्टफलदायकः ॥ १६ ॥
brahmā munistu gāyatrī chando'nuṣṭubudāhṛtam | devatā nṛhariścāsya sarveṣṭaphaladāyakaḥ || 16 ||
Para sa mantra/pagsasagawang ito, si Brahmā ang ipinahahayag na tagakita (ṛṣi); ang sukat ng tula ay sinasabing Anuṣṭubh; at ang diyos na pinupuri ay si Nṛhari (Viṣṇu na Taong-Leon), na nagkakaloob ng bunga ng lahat ng ninanais.

Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It states the classical mantra-identifiers—ṛṣi, chandas, and devatā—showing that correct Vedic application culminates in devotion to Nṛhari, the giver of all desired spiritual and worldly fruits.
By naming Nṛhari (Viṣṇu as Narasiṁha) as the presiding deity and the bestower of results, it centers the technical mantra framework on Viṣṇu-bhakti as the efficacious refuge.
Chandas (a Vedāṅga) is explicitly invoked via the Anuṣṭubh metre, along with the standard ritual-grammar of mantra usage: knowing the ṛṣi, metre, and deity before recitation.
