THE STORY OF PRAHLADA
 
यथा वैरानुबन्धेन मर्त्यस्तन्मयतामियात् ।
न तथा भक्तियोगेन इति मे निश्चिता मतिः ।
वैरेण पूतपाप्मानस्तमापुरनुचिन्तया ॥
 
It is my decided opinion that man
cannot become so much absorbed in God
even through devotion, as he can through
persistent enmity. Purified of their sins
by their enmity, (the enemies of God)
have attained Him through their continu-
ous thought of Him.
 
कामाद् द्वेषाद्भयात्स्नेहाद्यथा भक्त्येश्वरे मनः ।
आवेश्य तदघं हित्वा बहवस्तद्गतिं गताः ।
गोप्यः कामाद् भयात्कंसो द्वेषाच्चैद्यादयो नृपाः ॥
