Prahlada-
"Listening, to and Singing of the
 
glories of Vishnu, Thinking of Him,
Service at His feet, Worshipping Him,
Bowing to Him, Becoming a servant of
His, Having a friend's love for Him,
Offering up of oneself to Him,-if man
practises this ninefold devotion to Lord
Vishnu, well, that I consider as the
greatest learning."

निशम्यैतत्सुतवचो हिरण्यकशिपुस्तदा ।
गुरुपुत्रमुवाचेदं रुषा प्रस्फुरिताधरः ॥
 
Hearing then these words of his son,
Hiranyakasipu, with his lip quivering in
fury, spoke this to the son of the pre-
ceptor:
 
ब्रह्मबन्धो किमेतत्ते विपक्षं श्रयताऽसता ।
असारं माहितो बालो मामनादृत्य दुर्मते ॥'
 
"You wretched Brahmin of evil mind!
What is this? Ignoring me, you have
vilely sided with the enemy and have
taught this boy worthless things!"
