Prahlada Charitram.
‘Please kindly pardon my interruption but
I have a doubt and I seek your guidance to get my doubt clarified. From your
narration I gather that Perumal treats everyone equally and does not
discriminate; but, history shows us that He always helps Devendran to defeat
the Asuras and Rakshashas. How can He be called impartial when He always
supports Devendra?’ asked Parikshit.
‘I am very pleased with your question as
the answer highlights “Bagawatha Prabhavam” which is more important than
“Bagawad Prabhavam”. Your question will serve as the tool by which everyone
will benefit even in the future. This question was already asked by your
grandfather Yudhishtirar to Sage Narada. I will provide you with the answers
provided by Sage Narada,’ said Sukacharyar.
Sukracharyar started to narrate about the
Lord’s Narasimha Avataram. It is the best avatharam. The best amongst manthram
is the Narasimha Manthram as it contains 32 letters each of which teach one of
the 32 Brahma Vidhyas. Similarly the best amongst Tanthrams is Narasimha
Tanthrikam. “Namaha” is the heart of Saranagathi manthram. The best person to
surrender to is Lord Narasimha. He is also called as Pinaki as He wields the
bow called Pinaka. As He displayed anger while incarnating, He is called as
Maha Raudri. The Mrthyu Jaya Manthram praises the glories of Lord Narasimha. He
has three eyes; the right eye is the Sun, the left the moon and the eye on His
forehead is Agni. The protection obtained by chanting the Narasimha Manthram
cannot be over ruled by any other Manthram. The manthraraja Pada Sthothram
composed by Lord Shiva teaches the importance of Narasimha Manthram.
People who seek Moksham should worship
Lord Narasimha. The Ahobilla Mutt was established by Lord Narasimha Himself
when He initiated the first pontiff of Ahobila Mutt in to Sanyasa.
Entering the palace, Hiranyakashipu found
Subhanumat the wife of his brother Hiranyakshan in tears. The attendants were
all quiet. His own wife Kayathu was sitting next to Subhanumat trying to
console her.
Hiranyakashipu knew the reason for the
sombre mood. His brother Hiranyakshan had been killed by Lord Vishnu in the
form of Varaha.
‘Wipe your tears,’ said Hiranyakashipu
looking at Subhanumat. ‘I vow to you that I will avenge the death of
Hiranyakshan by making Vishnu who killed my brother non-existant!’
‘This is not an easy task! In fact it is
an impossible task!’ said Hiranyakashipu’s minister.
‘No task is impossible. I know the source
of Vishnu’s powers! Torment all Brahmins who practise the Vedas, not a single
verse from the Vedas should be uttered! Make sure no one follows their
varnashrama dharma. You have my standing instructions to torment anyone who
disobeys my decree. I will do a severe penance to obtain special boons from
Lord Brahma which will benefit us.’
Hiranyakashipu soon left to the forest to
do severe penance. Hiranyakashipu’s men started to torment people per his
decree. The Devas in the meantime invaded the kingdom of Hiranyakashipu. They
soon captured everyone and dragged all those people who were the supporters of
Hiranyakashipu as prisoners. Along with the priisoners they dragged the wife of
Hiranyakashipu as well.
