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.
