Nṛsiṃhavṛttamālā (नृसिंहवृत्तमाला) is the name of a work ascribed to Virūpākṣa Yajvan ( 17th century C.E.), son of Rāmacandrādhvarin of Maudgalyagotra and resident of the village Caṅgamā of Andhrapradesh. Also see the “New Catalogus Catalogorum” XXIX. p. 267.

Nṛsiṃhavṛttamālā, otherwise known as Narasiṃhavṛttamālā starts with the prayer of Lord Gaṇeśa in the invocatory verse. The poet addresses Gaṇeśa as the son of the daughter of the mountain (Himālaya) [śailanandinīsūnum]. A dull person undoubtedly can be able to compose metres by worshiping Lord Gaṇeśa. Soon after he pray goddess Sarasvatī, the goddess of learning, to sit in his vocal cord (kaṇṭha). Addressing the goddess as wife of Lord Brahmā (vidhivadhū), he says: the goddess, who is worshiped by Mahendra and other Gods, may sit in my vocal cord (kaṇṭha).
