THE STORY OF PRAHLADA
 

 
भ्रातर्येवं विनिहते हरिणा क्रोडमूर्तिना ।

हिरण्यकशिपुः [ राजन् ] पर्यतप्यद्रुषा शुचा ॥
 

When his brother had been killed thus

by Hari in the form of the Boar, Hiranya-

kasipu burnt with anger and grief.
 

 
कोपोज्ज्वलद्भ्यां चक्षुर्भ्यां दानवानिदमब्रवीत् ।

'यत्रयत्र द्विजा गावो वेदा वर्णाश्रमाः क्रियाः ।

तंतं जनपदं यात सन्दीपयत वृश्चत ॥

'
With eyes blazing with anger, he told

this to the demons: " Wherever there are

Brahmins, cows, Vedas, the preservation

of Varna and Asrama and the practice of

the duties of these, proceed to those

places, and burn and slaughter."
 

 
हिरण्यकशिपुः [राजन् ] अजेयमजरामरम् ।

आत्मानम प्रतिद्वन्द्वमेकराजं व्यधित्सत ।

स तेपे मन्दरद्रोण्यां तपः परमदारुणम् ॥
