1a) 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 (啶灌た啶班ぃ啷嵿く啶曕ざ啶苦お啷�).鈥擜 son of Dit墨 and 碍补艣测补辫补: reduced to subjection the three worlds with the Lokap膩las: secured heaven through his son Prahl膩da. His queen was Kay膩dhu;¹ wanted to avenge his brother Hira峁噛膩k峁's death;² the six sons born of his Asura Yoni were carried off by Yogam膩y膩's effort. They were again born of Devak墨 and killed by Ka峁僺a;³ lust after more territory;⁴ in his previous birth an attendant of Hari. He was next born as R膩va峁嘺 and afterwards Caidya. Destroyed the whole world by fire and by sword all friends of Hari for the killing of his brother, consoled his wife and sons pointing to the old saying that to die at the hands of an enemy leads one to heaven and cited the story of Suyaj帽a that it was no use to weep over the dead body. Then Dit墨 set her mind on the truth;⁵ 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 began austere penance in the Mandara hill and the fire of his penance spread far and wide and created fear in the Devas. Brahm膩 paid a visit and saw 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 covered by an ant hill. Sprinkling divine waters, he woke him up to see the Lord on the Swan, and he praised His glory. He asked that (1) he might not meet with death at the hands of any being created by Brahm膩; (2) might not meet with death inside or outside, by day or night, by any weapon not on earth or in sky, by men or beasts, gods or asuras; (3) he was to be without an equal; (4) he should possess undiminishing power (5) and be the one ruler of all creatures.⁶ These were granted and 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 spread his sway on all the worlds and took up the seat of Indra. All gods except the Triad bowed to him;⁷ father of four sons, chief of whom was Prahl膩da whom he hated as he was a devotee of Hari. 艢ukra's sons 艢a峁囜笉a and Marka were appointed to be his tutors to get a knowledge of Trivarga. This only increased Prahl膩da's devotion. 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 put it to some inborn defect of the boy. Means to kill the child by wild beasts, poison, fire and water were of no avail. He was bound by noose and imprisoned;⁸ when he was absent in Mandara hill Indra harassed his followers and captured his queen with Prahl膩da. N膩rada asked him to release her, which he did. She was under the custody of the sage, praying to him for the birth of a good son;⁹ in the course of his father's (碍补艣测补辫补's) a艣vamedha sacrifice, the child 贬颈谤补峁噛补办补艣颈辫耻 sat on one of the golden seats reserved for Hot峁�, and hence the name. Ruled for nearly (1/4) of the manvantara, got aurvim膩y膩 from Aurva to dispel;¹⁰ 罢腻尘补艣颈尘腻测腻;¹¹ rivers, mountains, worlds, etc. shaken by him;¹² first of Daityas, killed by Narasimha whom he never considered as Vi峁ａ箛u;¹³ taken out by action of Yoganidr膩 under orders from Vi峁ａ箛u.¹⁴
