Shloka 55
Nṛsiṁhadeva Appears from the Pillar and Slays Hiraṇyakaśipu
श्रीकिन्नरा ऊचु: वयमीश किन्नरगणास्तवानुगा दितिजेन विष्टिममुनानुकारिता: । भवता हरे स वृजिनोऽवसादितो नरसिंह नाथ विभवाय नो भव ॥ ५५ ॥
śrī-kinnarā ūcuḥ vayam īśa kinnara-gaṇās tavānugā ditijena viṣṭim amunānukāritāḥ bhavatā hare sa vṛjino ’vasādito narasiṁha nātha vibhavāya no bhava
Киннары сказали: О верховный Владыка, мы, киннары, — Твои вечные слуги, но этот сын Дити принуждал нас непрестанно служить ему без вознаграждения. О Хари, Ты уничтожил этого грешника. О Нрисимха, наш Господин, прими наши поклоны; будь нашим покровителем всегда.
FAQs
In this verse the Kinnaras directly address Nṛsiṁhadeva as their master and ask Him to become their welfare, acknowledging that He has cast down the wicked oppressor and thus protected His followers.
They explain that the Daitya had afflicted them and compelled them into degrading imitation of his conduct; seeing him destroyed by Hari, they offer gratitude and seek ongoing protection and well-being from Nṛsiṁha.
When pressured into harmful norms or unethical imitation, one can take shelter of God, seek inner alignment with dharma, and pray for strength and protection—trusting that injustice and oppression are ultimately checked by the Lord.
