Prahlāda’s Prayers Pacify Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva
Prahlāda-stuti and the Lord’s Benediction Offer
प्रह्रादं प्रेषयामास ब्रह्मावस्थितमन्तिके । तात प्रशमयोपेहि स्वपित्रे कुपितं प्रभुम् ॥ ३ ॥
prahrādaṁ preṣayām āsa brahmāvasthitam antike tāta praśamayopehi sva-pitre kupitaṁ prabhum
随后,梵天对近旁站立的普拉赫拉达说:“孩子,主那罗辛哈天神对你那阿修罗之父极其震怒;请上前安抚主。”
Because after killing Hiraṇyakaśipu, Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva remained intensely fierce, and only His pure devotee Prahlāda could approach Him with devotion and soften His mood.
Brahmā addresses Prahlāda affectionately and respectfully, recognizing him as a saintly devotee capable of approaching the Lord when even the devas hesitate.
A devotee responds to even extreme situations with humility, prayer, and compassion, and can bring peace by sincere devotion rather than by force or argument.
