çré-nåsiàha-kavacaà
Hiranyakshipu, a demon (asura) and king of the
Daityas, was granted a boon by the god Brahma who promised him
that he could never be killed by man or beast, by day or night,
indoors or outdoors, on earth or in the sky. So protected, the
demon proceeded to conquer heaven and earth. The gods appealed to
Vishnu to save them from their oppressor. Vishnu assumed a hairy
form like both man and lion. In this form Vishnu went into the
city of the demons, seizing and killing many. Prahlada, the son
of Hiranyakshipu, and a worshipper of Vishnu, pleaded with his
father to give up the battle and worship Vishnu. Enraged,
Hiranyakshipu sprouted multiple arms and attacked the man-lion
who grabbed him, threw him across his legs and ripped open his
belly with his sharp claws- killing him. Vishnu rewarded Prahlada
for his loyalty by making him king of the Daityas.
