Prahlada, with deep humility, addressed Lord Narasimha, saying, “You are indeed the Man-Lion who destroyed my father. You are the sun and the moon, the very origin of all that is movable and immovable, O Lord—master and banner of the king of birds. The entire universe is pervaded by you; who could ever conquer you, O Mādhava? Truly, you are unconquerable, all-pervading, and imperishable. “Yet, by exclusive devotion, I have been overcome by you, O Daitya. Now, for the sake of discipline, grant me a boon—choose whatever you desire.” At this, Prahlada replied, “Let my sin be destroyed—both bodily and mental. Even if this boon has been given to another, please bestow it upon me as well.” The Lord then said, “Ask for a second boon; that, too, I will grant you, O Asura.” Prahlada responded, “Let those who are devoted to worshipping the gods, whose minds are fixed on you and who are dedicated to you—may they be blessed.” The Lord said, “Choose that, O mighty-armed one; I will grant it without hesitation.” Prahlada then prayed, “May my renown always be through your lotus feet.” The Lord, pleased with his devotion, declared, “By my grace, you shall become ageless and immortal. For one whose mind is fixed on me, there will be no bondage of action for you. O Daitya, perform supreme righteousness befitting your own lineage.” Prahlada, however, hesitated, saying, “How shall I accept the kingdom, O teacher of the world, having renounced it?” The Lord instructed him, “Become the adviser for the welfare of the Daityas and Danavas.” Bowing to the Lord, and pleased, Prahlada returned to his own city. Though invited to rule, the sage Narada did not accept the kingdom. Instead, he stood in meditation, remembering the incomprehensible Kesava, his body purified by yoga. Even though he had been defeated and had relinquished the throne, he remained there, his mind firmly fixed in the support of consciousness. Though Prahlada was consecrated and understood the eternal duties of a king, he consecrated Lalo in his own position among the Daityas. You may wonder how he dwelt together with the gods and others—listen as I tell you. Through great austerity and worship of the Lord of the gods, the three-eyed wielder of the trident, Andhaka obtained immunity from burning by fire and from being wetted by water. Appointing Shukra as his priest, Andhaka then dwelled in meditation. Having conquered the whole earth, he defeated the kings of men. Together with them, he journeyed to the wondrous peak of Mount Meru. Upon arriving, he made arrangements for protection in Amaravati and then departed. Mounting their own vehicles and armed, they set forth with great speed—elephants, horses, chariots, and many others. The Vidyadharas and others, too, mounted their own vehicles. You have asked about the duty and vehicle of each—let me describe them briefly and in order. The lord of elephants, white in color, is the vehicle of the king of the gods. A buffalo named Pauṇḍraka is the vehicle of the lord of Dharma, O Nārada. The divine-moving Śiśumāra is the vehicle of Varuṇa. The vehicle of Dhanada was born from the foot of Ambikā. White bulls of the Saurabheya line, swift and strong, are his steeds.
