Chapter
3:
Hiranyakasipu's
Plan to Become Immortal
(3) Emanating from the
hair on his head there was a light bright as a supernova
and by the beams were all the gods in their practices of
penance driven back to their own places.
(15-16) Covered by an
anthill, grass and bamboo, with his fat, skin, flesh and
blood eaten away by the ants, could he not be spotted,
but he who rides the swan smiled with wonder when he saw
how by his penance the heating of all the worlds was
being covered like the sun is by clouds.
Chapter
4:
Hiranyakasipu
Terrorizes the Universe
(34) The qualities of
him are, like those found in the Supreme Lord our
Controller, by the advanced always glorified as being the
greatest, o king, and not so much the ones one is so
confused about today [in Kali-yuga].
Chapter
5:
Prahlâda
Mahârâja, the Saintly Son of
Hiranyakasipu

stopped the son. Hiranykasipu enraged and blinded to the
selfrealization threw him from his lap on the
ground.
(39-40) The henchmen
having taken in all their leader had to say then verily
with the sharpest tridents in their hands, their
frightening teeth and faces and their red hairs and
mustaches, roared fearfully 'Let's cut him in pieces' and
attacked Prahlâda, sitting there silently, with
their lances on his tender parts.
