Srimad Bhagavatam — Saptama Skandha, Shloka 35
Nṛsiṁhadeva Appears from the Pillar and Slays Hiraṇyakaśipu
निशाम्य लोकत्रयमस्तकज्वरं तमादिदैत्यं हरिणा हतं मृधे । प्रहर्षवेगोत्कलितानना मुहु: प्रसूनवर्षैर्ववृषु: सुरस्त्रिय: ॥ ३५ ॥
niśāmya loka-traya-mastaka-jvaraṁ tam ādi-daityaṁ hariṇā hataṁ mṛdhe praharṣa-vegotkalitānanā muhuḥ prasūna-varṣair vavṛṣuḥ sura-striyaḥ
Nang makita ng mga asawa ng mga deva na si Hiraṇyakaśipu—na parang lagnat sa ulo ng tatlong daigdig—ay napatay sa labanan ng mismong mga kamay ni Bhagavān Hari, namukadkad sa galak ang kanilang mga mukha. Paulit-ulit silang nagpaulan ng mga bulaklak mula sa langit bilang handog kay Śrī Nṛsiṁhadeva.
FAQs
This verse describes the wives of the demigods showering flowers in joy after Hari slays the demon who oppressed the three worlds, showing divine approval of the Lord’s protection of dharma.
Because Hiranyakashipu was a torment to all three worlds; once the Lord ends his tyranny, the celestial beings express relief, gratitude, and reverence through a traditional worshipful flower-offering.
It teaches trust that oppression and arrogance are temporary, and that aligning with dharma and devotion brings protection—so one should respond to divine grace with gratitude rather than fear.
