Bali Liberated, Prahlāda Blessed, and Vāmana Accepted as Universal Protector
श्रीभगवानुवाच वत्स प्रह्लाद भद्रं ते प्रयाहि सुतलालयम् । मोदमान: स्वपौत्रेण ज्ञातीनां सुखमावह ॥ ९ ॥
śrī-bhagavān uvāca vatsa prahrāda bhadraṁ te prayāhi sutalālayam modamānaḥ sva-pautreṇa jñātīnāṁ sukham āvaha
శ్రీభగవానుడు పలికెను—వత్స ప్రహ్లాదా, నీకు మంగళం కలుగుగాక. ఇప్పటికి నీవు సుతల లోకమునకు వెళ్లి, అక్కడ నీ మనవడితోను ఇతర బంధువులతోను ఆనందించు; నీ జ్ఞాతులకు సుఖమును కలిగించు।
This verse states that Sutala is an abode where Prahlāda is sent to live joyfully with his grandson Bali, indicating Sutala as a divinely sanctioned residence blessed by the Lord in the Vāmana līlā.
In the narrative, the Lord establishes Bali in Sutala and then directs Prahlāda to join him there, so that Prahlāda may rejoice with Bali and bring well-being to their family—showing the Lord’s favor to His devotees and their lineage.
It teaches that sincere devotion invites the Lord’s protection and auspicious outcomes, encouraging devotees to live with gratitude, strengthen family harmony, and bring genuine happiness to their community.
