Hymn to the claws of Narasiṃha (नरसिंहनखस्तोत्रम्)
Nara-siṃha-nakha-stotram.02
लक्ष्मीकान्त समन्ततोऽपि(वि)कलयन्नैवेशितुस्ते समं पश्याम्युत्तमवस्तु दूरतरतोऽपास्तं रसो योऽष्टमः। यद्रोषोत्करदक्षनेत्रकुटलिप्रान्तोत्थिताग्निस्फुरत्खद्योतोपमविस्फुलिङ्गभसिता ब्रह्मेशशक्रोत्कराः ॥2॥
O Lakṣmī's Lord, even when I consider all sides, I do not see anything equal to you. O Supreme One, the highest thing, the eighth rasa, when cast far away - even the hosts of Brahmā, Śiva, and Indra have been reduced to ashes by the sparks, like fireflies, that sprang from the fire at the corner of your right eye, ignited by a surge of anger.
॥इति श्रीमदानन्दतीर्थभगवत्पादाचार्यविरचितं नरसिंहनखस्तोत्रम्॥
Thus ends the Narasimha-nakha-stotra composed by the revered teacher Śrī Ānanda Tīrtha (Madhvācārya).

...

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
