Prahlāda Rejects Demonic Diplomacy and Proclaims Navadhā Bhakti
इत्युक्त्वोपरतं पुत्रं हिरण्यकशिपू रुषा । अन्धीकृतात्मा स्वोत्सङ्गान्निरस्यत महीतले ॥ ३३ ॥
ity uktvoparataṁ putraṁ hiraṇyakaśipū ruṣā andhīkṛtātmā svotsaṅgān nirasyata mahī-tale
प्रल्हाद महाराजांचे बोलणे संपल्यावर, रागाने आंधळा झालेला हिरण्यकशिपू त्यांना आपल्या मांडीवरून खाली जमिनीवर फेकून देता झाला.
Because he was blinded by rage at Prahlāda’s unwavering devotion and perceived disobedience, he violently cast the silent child from his lap to the ground.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī narrates this event to Mahārāja Parīkṣit.
Uncontrolled anger and ego can make a person irrational and cruel; cultivating devotion, humility, and self-control prevents such blindness of the heart.
