हिन्दी अर्थ

बुद्धिमान् प्रह्मद समुद्र-तटसे उठकर अपने नगरको चले गये। इसके बाद हैत्यनन्दन प्रह्लादजी परम प्रसन्न होकर अपने स्मरणबलसे संसारमें सब ओर भगवानूका ही दर्शन करते हुए तथा भगवान् एवं मनुष्यकी गतिको

English

O inert son, it is the duty of my son that he should slaughter the people who favour Visnu. Instead of performing your loyalty, you are praying to god Visnu. Whether you have lost the shame even and raising queries frequently before me. I am the sovereign ruler of the entire universe and your father, still you desire to have another ruler of your own. Dear son, nobody here is his own master in this world. It is the chivalrous and warrior like, who enjoy the wealth and he is only master and the kind.

"He only is the supreme god as you see who have conquered the three-worlds. Hence, give up immediately your ignorance and resort to the gallantry which only is benevolent for our clan. Other people too will tease and scorn you by saying that this boy prays to the gods even after his birth in the clan of a monster. It is strange as if the cat prays to the mouse and the peacock worship the serpents. Indeed, such activity is the indicator of destruction. My stupid¬ like son, Prahlada, falls down from the position of luxury due to their evil acts. See that he is worth adoration yet praying to those who are inferior than us and observing the discipline imposed by us. O stupid, my prosperity is before your eyes

O king, with these words, Hiranyakas'ipu became furious and he looked with cross- eye at the teacher of Prahlada. The teacher was shivering with fear. He ordered - O stupid Brahmin, leave this place at once and arrange for a good education for my son hereinafter. "The Brahmin serving under that wicked king returned to his home considering it as graceful of the king and started worship of Hiranyakas'ipu instead of god Visnu from that day. It is true that a greedy man can do everything in order to give bread to his belly.

Markandeya said- The monster prince, Prahlada was immediately sent to the house of his teacher with the charioteer. He studied there as per the system prescribed and time allowed for the course and he then became a youth with a sound knowledge on all learnings. Generally, the common people of this world tend to favour the atheism and the evil-some conduct and activities of their youth but Prahlada attained detachment from the worldly affairs and his devotion to god was spurt-up to the culmination. It was really strange to see such a sea change in him at that age. On completion of the study, Hiranyakas'ipu once called him to the palace and looking at Prahlada with clasped hands

O killer of gods, it is good enough to see that you have now absolved yourself from the ignorance that existed in you in childhood. You are now shining like a sun which has left behind the thick cover of fog. O dear son, in my childhood also, the Brahmins had thrown my own conscience into illusion and I was also inert like you but on advent of youth I could attain the quality education approved and affirmed by our clan. I therefore want to assign this burden of ruling on you which is full of the thorns of enemies. I want to see you enthroned as you are efficient enough to handle all responsibilities pertaining to the administration of the state. The efficiency of a son pleases the heart of a father very much. He gradually absolves himself from the net of worry and fatigues. Your teacher too has appreciated you skill and expertise before me. It is not a matter of surprise for your being so efficient. My ears today are eager enough to listen to certain things from you. To see the poverty of an enemy prima- facie, the pleasing words of a son in the ears and the wounds on the parts of body as a result of fighting with gallantry in battle are like a great festival for the prosperous warriors or heroes and the monsters who are

English

O king, your statement to the extent hearing to the benevolent words is like a great festival but it actually is felt when those matters pertain to god Visnu. One would not even imagine listening to other matters. The statement is ethical, the same is the psalm and that is only the nice sentence by which god Visnu is prayed to as he only is like the fire to burn the worldly straws in the form of miseries. The scriptures truly are in which psalms of the supreme god, the giver of the desired thing to his devotee have been contemplated/mentioned. O dear father, what is the benefit of study on economics, that only throws a man in the dragnet of the world? What will be the use of endeavour if the same is done for study on the scripture, if it preaches to kill ones own soul? The persons desirous of emancipation should, therefore, observe and listen to only those scriptures that pertain to the prayer of god Visnu. The study otherwise only brings pains and the man seldom feels pleasure throughout his life.

Complying with the order of Hiranyakasipu, the soldiers started slapping Prahlada. They were threatening him also with the cruel words. Prahlada also took in hand the thunderbolt in garb of the concentration on god Visnu. Having seen his devotee Prahlada in deep concentration, god Visnu started giving him a cover of protection. The weapons used by the monsters could not then touch the body of Prahlada and split up into pieces like the petals of the blue lotus. The material weapons proved futile before Prahlada who was under the cover of protection which was given by god Visnu himself. The diseases, monsters and the stars only cause pain to mankind until they arrive at the stage in which their heart feels the kind touch of god at all moments. The weapons so used first turned into pieces and then got into the reverse direction and started spreading devastation among the soldiers assigned with that cruel task. The monsters ran away to and fro so as to save themselves from the injury and wounds. Only the stupid may be surprised at it but it is not a matter of surprise in the eyes of the scholars.

The most poisonous snakes with their jaws large and terrifying and many thousands of teeth ran fast by emanating hissing sounds from their hoods and gripped Prahlada at once. His body became inscrutable and the snakes so dangerous could not even make a slight scratch on the skin of Prahlada. This was not ended slightly but the snakes lost their teeth as a result of bite on innocent Prahlada. All their mouths (hoods) started oozing blood and this position was then reported by the snake charmers to Hiranyakasipu
