Vibhūti-yoga in the Bhāgavata: The Lord’s Manifest Opulences and the Discipline of Control
मां विद्ध्युद्धव दैत्यानां प्रह्लादमसुरेश्वरम् । सोमं नक्षत्रौषधीनां धनेशं यक्षरक्षसाम् ॥ १६ ॥
māṁ viddhy uddhava daityānāṁ prahlādam asureśvaram somaṁ nakṣatrauṣadhīnāṁ dhaneśaṁ yakṣa-rakṣasām
Mahal kong Uddhava, sa mga daitya kilalanin mo Ako bilang si Prahlāda Mahārāja, ang banal na panginoon ng mga asura. Sa mga bituin at halamang-gamot Ako si Soma, si Candra (ang buwan); at sa mga Yakṣa at Rākṣasa Ako si Dhanesha Kuvera, panginoon ng yaman.
In this verse, Krishna declares that among the Daityas/asuras He is Prahlada—highlighting Prahlada as the supreme exemplar of unwavering bhakti even in a hostile, demoniac setting.
Krishna is teaching Uddhava how to recognize the Lord’s presence through His vibhutis (divine manifestations) in every class of beings, so devotion becomes constant and all-pervading.
Train the mind to see God’s hand in excellence and virtue—especially devotion like Prahlada’s—so admiration turns into remembrance, gratitude, and steadier bhakti in daily life.
