Ciranya kasipu:
 
"Lord! let me not have death from any
of the beings created by you; let me not
have death indoors or outside, by day or
night, or from any other thing, or by any
weapons; let me not have death on the
ground or in the air, by men or by
animals, by animate or inanimate things,
or from gods, demons or the great
serpents.

TEE STORY OF PRAHLADA
 
• अप्रतिद्वन्द्वतां युद्ध ऐकपत्यं च देहिनाम् ।
सर्वेषां लोकपालानां महिमानं यथाऽऽत्मनः ॥
 
"(Also bestow on me) the state of being
without an opponent in battle, the sole
sovereignty over men and the power of
all the gods, a power like that you
possess."
 
वृतश्शतधृतिः प्रादादू वरांस्तस्य सुदुर्लभान् ॥
 
Asked for boons (in that manner),
Brahma gave him those boons hard to be
obtained.
 
एवं लब्धवरो दैत्यो बिभ्रद्धेममयं वपुः ।
भगवत्यकरोद् द्वेषं भ्रातुर्वधमनुस्मरन् ॥
 
Having thus obtained the boons, the
demon, endowed with a golden body,
began to hate the Lord, constantly
remembering the killing of his brother.
