Yajña-bhāga-vyavasthā and the Pravṛtti–Nivṛtti Framework (यज्ञभागव्यवस्था तथा प्रवृत्तिनिवृत्तिधर्मविवेचनम्)
विह्नल: प्रापतद् भूमौ हिरण्यकशिपो: सुतः । हिरण्यकशिपुकुमार प्रह्नाद बड़े जोरसे चिग्घाड़कर मूर्च्छिंत एवं व्याकुल हो उस पर्वतशिखरकी भूमिपर गिर पड़े
vihvalaḥ prāpatad bhūmau hiraṇyakaśipoḥ sutaḥ | hiraṇyakaśipu-kumāraḥ prahlādaḥ baḍe jor se ciṅghāḍakara mūrcchita evaṁ vyākulaḥ sa parvata-śikhara-bhūmipar girā paṛe |
ビーシュマは語った。ヒラニヤカシプの子プラフラーダは、圧倒され乱れ苦しみ、激しく叫んで気を失い、山頂の地に取り乱して倒れ伏した。この場面は、いかなる強者であっても恐れや衝撃、出来事の重みによって揺らぎ得ることを示し、心の安定とダルマにかなう堅忍について省察を促す。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the fragility of the mind under extreme shock and the ethical need for inner steadiness (dhairya) and self-mastery; it prepares the listener to value composure and dharmic resilience rather than being ruled by agitation.
Bhishma describes Prahlada, Hiranyakashipu’s son, becoming overwhelmed—crying out loudly, fainting, and collapsing on the ground at a mountain summit—indicating a moment of intense distress within the story.
