Srimad Bhagavatam — Saptama Skandha, Shloka 35
Nṛsiṁhadeva Appears from the Pillar and Slays Hiraṇyakaśipu
निशाम्य लोकत्रयमस्तकज्वरं तमादिदैत्यं हरिणा हतं मृधे । प्रहर्षवेगोत्कलितानना मुहु: प्रसूनवर्षैर्ववृषु: सुरस्त्रिय: ॥ ३५ ॥

Hiraṇyakaśipu had been exactly like a fever of meningitis in the head of the three worlds. Thus when the wives of the demigods in the heavenly planets saw that the great demon had been killed by the personal hands of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, their faces blossomed in great joy. The wives of the demigods again and again showered flowers from heaven upon Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva like rain.
FAQs
This verse describes the wives of the demigods showering flowers in joy after Hari slays the demon who oppressed the three worlds, showing divine approval of the Lord’s protection of dharma.
Because Hiranyakashipu was a torment to all three worlds; once the Lord ends his tyranny, the celestial beings express relief, gratitude, and reverence through a traditional worshipful flower-offering.
It teaches trust that oppression and arrogance are temporary, and that aligning with dharma and devotion brings protection—so one should respond to divine grace with gratitude rather than fear.
