Markandeya said- Prahlada then was living under escort of Guru. As he was conversant with all Sastras, his mind was concentrated on god Visnu and having an extreme conscience to treat the entire world nothing else but a varied form of Narayana, he used to treat the worldly affairs in quite reluctance. One day all class fellows gathered round Prahlada. They said- O Prince, your nature is eccentric particularly because there is no attachment in you for the worldly affairs. It is seen that you always peep into some inexpressive thing in your mind and it keeps you always in a happy mood. Kindly tell us if that thing is not so confident as not to disclose before

O king, Prahlada was generous to all so when so enquired, he told - "O descendents of monsters, listen to me in a fresh mood what I, who only have love for god, am going to tell you in response to your enquiry. See for a while the tangible worldly luxury appearing pleasure pouring in the form of wealth, people and wife with beauty.

It is due to my not having concentration of mind even for once the lotus feet of god Mukunda and now compelled to endure severe pain within this womb. Hence, one who has come into the old age. O sons of Daitya, when this world is always full of sorrow, how can then a scholar enjoy it? With these eyes of fact¬ searching we do not see even the least pleasure in this world. With the growth of our conscience, we are introduced to the sorrows and sufferings of this world more apparently. Its upper layer indeed is fantastic and alluring but as the scholar can see by piercing the veil so charming, they do not indulge in its illusion. The stupid and devoid of essence only attach themselves like the insects who see the lamp charming but their affinity and affection kills them. When nothing else but only this illusive worldly pleasure would be in existence, attachment with it is outright but when other means is already with us why would then one die in the blind alley? If eatables are not available even with all efforts, it is good to survive with fodder and grass or oil cake etc., but when the immortal pleasure is with us and it is merely to serve the lotus feet of god Visnu why would then one seek shelter in this all mortal world?

"Who desires other trifle pleasures refraining him from this great pleasure (i.e. service of god and enjoyment of his grace) so easy to avail of is a weak heart and asks for alms by giving up his own kingdom. The worship of god Visnu is not performed by offering garments, wealth and labour but it requires an exclusive sense with the names as Kes'ava, Madhava on ones lips. It is the real worship of god Visnu. O sons of monsters, hence, you all should recite the pious names of god Visnu with a true conscience that this world is full of misery. Only this is the means that gives the human life any meaning and if this is lost, the stupid fall from one layer to another downwards. Give up all worldly passions and imagine in your hearts god Mukunda, only adorable, immortal enshrined with his
