Prahlāda’s Prayers Pacify Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva
Prahlāda-stuti and the Lord’s Benediction Offer
प्रीणन्ति ह्यथ मां धीरा: सर्वभावेन साधव: । श्रेयस्कामा महाभाग सर्वासामाशिषां पतिम् ॥ ५४ ॥
prīṇanti hy atha māṁ dhīrāḥ sarva-bhāvena sādhavaḥ śreyas-kāmā mahā-bhāga sarvāsām āśiṣāṁ patim
மகாபாக்யமான பிரஹ்லாதா, அறிந்துகொள்—தீரர்களும் சாதுக்களும் எல்லாப் பாவங்களிலும் என்னை மகிழ்விக்க முயல்கிறார்கள்; ஏனெனில் எல்லா ஆசிகளுக்கும், எல்லாரின் விருப்பங்களுக்கும் நிறைவேற்றும் ஒரே ஆண்டவன் நானே.
The words dhīrāḥ sarva-bhāvena do not mean “in whichever way you like.” Bhāva is the preliminary condition of love of Godhead.

Offer your daily work, relationships, and choices as service to God—regularly chanting, hearing, and acting with integrity—so devotion becomes wholehearted rather than occasional.
