tasmād rajo-rāga-viṣāda-manyu- māna-spṛhā-bhayadainyādhimūlam hitvā gṛhaṁ saṁsṛti-cakravālaṁ nṛsiṁha-pādaṁ bhajatākutobhayam iti

Translation

Therefore, O demons, give up the so-called happiness of family life and simply take shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, which are the actual shelter of fearlessness. Entanglement in family life is the root cause of material attachment, indefatigable desires, moroseness, anger, despair, fear and the desire for false prestige, all of which result in the repetition of birth and death.
