AdiyEn dhasan.
I think this is composed by Sri.Madhwacharya.Alongwith this, there is a Nrusimha Nakha Sthuthi, which is even more beautiful.During Purattaasi Sanikizhamai/Pradhosham/Maasa Swathi/ these shlokas are broadcast over the Audio System for the good of Devotees in Srirangam Kaattazhagiyasingar Kovil.Alongwith Manthra Rajapadha Sthothram(by Rudhra-detailing the Nrusimha Moola manthram -Ugram Veeram Mahaavishnum)Nrusimhaashtakam(byVaadhikEsari Azhagiya MaNavaaLaJeeyar Swami)Nrusimha Panchaamrutha SthOthram(by Lord Raamaa)and Nrusimha Gadhyam(by a Telugu Aachaarya-BOdhanna Kavi?)
We in Srirangam believe that Kaattazhagiyasingar is nobody else but PeriyaperumaaL in the Sitting Posture.
Some simple translations are available in
and a comprehensive list of Nrusimha slokas are available with translation is available in
I suppose this helps.

SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA
NAMAHA.
Respected swamin,
Did you find out the Acharya's name who authored this beautiful
sthothram? If so, please share it with us.
Another question. Is this sthothram only this much or there are other
stanzas?
Also I would like to know the meaning / interpretation of this
penultimate line in this sthothra.
(mantradhi-raja-matha-danava-mana-bhangam)
Can anyone help?
Regards,
jayasree saranathan
