Nṛsiṁha pūrvatāpinī (first half) upaniṣad reveals “mantra rāja mantra”, the king of all mantras. Both gods and demons were scared of death and they approached Brahmā for a mantra to conquer death. Brahmā initiated them with mantra rāja mantra in anuṣṭupchandas (अनुष्टुप्छन्दः). Brahmā also told them that those who fear for death and sins should get mantra rāja mantra initiated. Following is mantra rāja mantra.
ॐ उग्रं वीरं महाविष्णुं ज्वलन्तं सर्वतोमुखम्।
नृसिंहं भीषणं भद्रं मृत्य्मृत्युं नमाम्यहम्॥
om ugraṁ vīraṁ mahāviṣṇuṁ jvalantaṁ sarvatomukham |
nṛsiṁhaṁ bhīṣaṇaṁ bhadraṁ mṛtymṛtyuṁ namāmyaham ||
The same upaniṣad reveals another powerful mantra known as “yajur mahālakṣmi gāyatrī mantra”. This mantra has twenty four akṣara-s like gāyatrī mantra. It is said that this mantra is capable of giving wealth and status. Following is yajur mahālakṣmi gāyatrī mantra.
ॐ भूर्लक्ष्मी भुवर्लक्ष्मीः सुवः कालकर्णी। तन्नो लक्ष्मीः प्रचोदयात्॥
om bhūrlakṣmī bhuvarlakṣmīḥ suvaḥ kālakarṇī | tanno lakṣmīḥ pracodayāt ||
A very powerful mantra can be formed by combining mantra rāja mantra and yajur mahālakṣmi gāyatrī mantra and this mantra is capable of conferring benefits of both the above mantras. If these two mantras are combined, we get the following mantra.
ॐ उग्रं वीरं महाविष्णुं ज्वलन्तं सर्वतोमुखम्।
नृसिंहं भीषणं भद्रं मृत्य्मृत्युं नमाम्यहम्॥
ॐ भूर्लक्ष्मी भुवर्लक्ष्मीः सुवः कालकर्णी। तन्नो लक्ष्मीः प्रचोदयात्॥
om ugraṁ vīraṁ mahāviṣṇuṁ jvalantaṁ sarvatomukham |
nṛsiṁhaṁ bhīṣaṇaṁ bhadraṁ mṛtymṛtyuṁ namāmyaham ||
om bhūrlakṣmī bhuvarlakṣmīḥ suvaḥ kālakarṇī | tanno lakṣmīḥ pracodayāt ||

This mantra requires proper initiation from someone who has practiced it properly for many years, otherwise it can create issues. This is certainly not one of those mantra-s which anybody can give to anyone. The mantra also requires some understanding of pA~ncharAtra world view.

Some people are still sharing the mantras and this one you published here on facebook and without even mentioning the source https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mantra-shlokas/265257264305

OMG. Verbatim they have reproduced. At least they should have the courtesy to make a reference to the original source. I have made a comment in their Facebook page. Thank you once again for keenly noticing this.
March 06, 2014 09:05 PM
Yes Raviji,and they copied the entire text

This is what I have written in their Facebook.
" Someone has pointed out that this mantra is taken from my site. On checking, it is coped verbatim here".

On the Narasimha Mantra, for the second line:I believe "bhatraṁ" is incorrect. It should be "bhadraṁ". Any feedback by knowledgeable?
April 04, 2014 09:52 AM
You are right. The error is corrected now. It is भद्रं bhadraṁ only. Thank you for pointing out this error.

You have missed out the vidamahe in the yajur gayatri. So it should be:om bhūrlakṣmī bhuvarlakṣmīḥ suvaḥ kālakarṇī vidamahe | tanno lakṣmīḥ pracodayāt ||
November 16, 2014 09:22 AM
No, I have not missed out. vidmahe is not there in the Upanishad. Further it is a 24 lettered mantra and vidmahe obviously cannot be there.
March 26, 2016 12:20 PM
Hi you are correct about vidmahe not being there, however, it seems that Laksmi is missing after suva to make the count 24
