gave him poison to drink. He threw him into the sea. He rolled him down a mountain.

God saved Prahlada.

Hiranyakasipu at last asked Prahlada, "Where is your God?"
Prahlada said, "God is everywhere!"
Then his father said to him’." Show me your God here if you dare! If he is in
this pillar let him come out, and kicked hard at the pillar.
The pillar cracked. Out leapt God from it in a terrible form with the head, claws and
teeth of a lion, and the body of a man-Narasimha.
God picked up Hiranyakasipu, placed him on his lap, and tore open his belly. Hiranyakasipu
died.God blessed Prahlada for his firm faith in Him. |
