Sri Narasimha Panchamrita Stotra

The Narasimha Panchamrita Stotra is very delicious to the ears to listen. Hence it is described as equivalent to tasting of the divine nectar of panchamrita.

The devatas realized that this stuti composed by Sri Ramachandra was unsurpassed in taste better than any panchamritam.
