Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Satakam is a compilation of 100 poems by Dharmapuri Seshappa Kavi. They are primary based on devotion and morality and set in simple language. Compilation of this complete work is in Telugu recited in different ragas by Sri Akkiraju Sundara Ramakrishna.
The narasimha Satakam has some very popular devotional poems in telugu. Until recently, many village households had these poems recited (or sung) at dusk just as the oil wick lamps were being lit by the lady of the house. The belief being that dusk is the time of awakening of demons from their sleep and that Narasimha's praise at that time would keep them in check. Apart from beliefs of this kind, the poems have a beautiful flow and convey a variety of morals to young children gathered around their mother as dusk turns to the darkness of night. Many a Telugu person would remember with fondness, his/her mother singing "lakshAdhikAraina lavaNamannamegAni - merugu baMgAraMbu mriMgabODu."
