Mon fils Prahlāda, vaurien, tu sais que lorsque je suis en colère, toutes les planètes des trois mondes tremblent, ainsi que leurs principaux dirigeants. Par quel pouvoir un vaurien comme toi est-il devenu si impudent que tu sembles sans peur et outrepasses mon pouvoir de te gouverner ?
The relationship between a pure devotee and the Supreme Personality of Godhead is extremely relishable. A devotee never claims to be very powerful himself; instead, he fully surrenders to the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, being confident that in all dangerous conditions Kṛṣṇa will protect His devotee. Kṛṣṇa Himself says in Bhagavad-gītā (9.31) , kaunteya pratijānīhi na me bhaktaḥ praṇaśyati: “O son of Kuntī, declare boldly that My devotee never perishes.” The Lord requested Arjuna to declare this instead of declaring it Himself because sometimes Kṛṣṇa changes His view and therefore people might not believe Him. Thus Kṛṣṇa asked Arjuna to declare that a devotee of the Lord is never vanquished.
