Srimad Bhagavatam — Saptama Skandha, Shloka 14
Nṛsiṁhadeva Appears from the Pillar and Slays Hiraṇyakaśipu
एवं दुरुक्तैर्मुहुरर्दयन् रुषा सुतं महाभागवतं महासुर: । खड्गं प्रगृह्योत्पतितो वरासनात् स्तम्भं तताडातिबल: स्वमुष्टिना ॥ १४ ॥
evaṁ duruktair muhur ardayan ruṣā sutaṁ mahā-bhāgavataṁ mahāsuraḥ khaḍgaṁ pragṛhyotpatito varāsanāt stambhaṁ tatāḍātibalaḥ sva-muṣṭinā
就这样，盛怒支配的强力者希兰尼亚迦西普不断以恶言责骂他那至高奉主的儿子普拉赫拉达。随后他握起宝剑，从王座跃起，怀着滔天怒火以拳猛击殿中的柱子。

This verse shows that even a pure devotee like Prahlāda may be repeatedly abused and attacked, yet the Lord’s protection is being prepared through the unfolding of the līlā.
Enraged by Prahlāda’s unwavering devotion and his insistence that God is everywhere, Hiraṇyakaśipu impulsively attacked the pillar—setting the stage for Lord Nṛsiṁha’s manifestation.
Remain steady in devotion and values even under pressure or ridicule; avoid reacting with anger, and trust that sincere spiritual practice brings protection and clarity in due course.
