The demon-king, Hiranya kasipu, had

four marvellous sons; by (his) virtues,

Prahlada, a worshipper of the great, was

the greatest of them.

ब्रह्मण्यः शीलसंपन्नस्सत्यसन्धो जितेन्द्रियः ।

आत्मवत्सर्वभूतानामेकः प्रियसुहृत्तमः ।

दासवत्सन्नतार्याङिङ्घ्रःरिः पितृवद्दीनवत्सलः ।

भ्रातृवत्सदृशे स्निग्धो गुरुष्वीश्वरभावनः ।

विद्यार्थरूपजन्माढ्यो मानस्तंभविवर्जितः ।
 

Prahlada was beneficent to Brahmins,

endowed with character, vowed to truth-

fulness, and one who had conquered his

senses; like the soul, he was the one most

beloved friend of all beings; at the feet

of the noble, he was prostrate like a

servant; and towards the suffering, he

was affectionate like a father; he was

attached like a brother towards his equals

and had the regard of God for his elders;

(though) endowed with birth, beauty,

wealth and learning, he was devoid of

the stiffness of pride.
