Verse 378

य एतं मन्त्रराजं नारसिंहमानुष्टुभंनित्यमधीते स ऋचोऽधीते स यजूंष्य-धीते स सामान्याधीते सोऽथर्वाणमधीतेसोऽङ्गिरसमधीते स शाखा अधीते सपुराणान्यधीते स कल्पानधीते स गाथाअधीते स नाराशंसीरधीते स प्रणवम-धीते यः प्रणवमधीते स सर्वमधीते ससर्वमधीते ॥ ७ ॥

In plain words

Recite this king of mantras — the Nārasiṃha anuṣṭubh — every day, and you have studied the Ṛg, the Yajus, the Sāma. You have studied the Atharva under both its names. Every recension, every Purāṇa, every ritual manual, every old ballad and verse of praise — studied. You have studied Om. And whoever has studied Om has studied everything there is. Everything.

Whoever recites this king of mantras, the Nārasiṃha anuṣṭubh, daily — he studies the Ṛg verses; he studies the Yajus formulas; he studies the Sāma chants; he studies the Atharva[veda]; he studies the Āṅgirasa; he studies the [Vedic] recensions; he studies the Purāṇas; he studies the Kalpa texts; he studies the gāthās; he studies the nārāśaṃsī verses; he studies the praṇava. Whoever studies the praṇava studies everything. He studies everything. || 7 ||
