दिग्गजैर्दन्दशूकैश्च अभिचारावपातनैः ।

मायाभिस्सन्निरोधैश्च गरदानैरभोजनैः ।

हिमवाय्वग्निसलिलैः पर्वताक्रमणैरपि ।
 

न शशाक यदा हन्तुमपापमसुरस्सुतम् ।

चिन्तां दीर्घतमां प्राप्तस्तत्कर्तुं नाभ्यपद्यत ॥

With the elephants at the quarters,

with serpents, by evil incantations, by
throwing him down from heights, by

throwing him down from heights, by
black-magic, burials, poisonings,

repeated starving, with cold, storm, fire,

water, by rolling boulders on him,-when

by all these means the demon could not

kill his sinless son, he sank into deep

thought but did not find a way of killing

him.

अप्रमेयानुभावोऽयमक्कुतश्चिद्भयोऽमरः ।

(He said to himself :) "This Prahlada

is of inscrutable power; he has fear from

nothing; he is indeed immortal; surely

by (this) enmity (of mine) with him, there
is going to be death for me, a thing new

is going to be death for me, a thing new
to me."
