What the purport teaches
- Prahlāda Mahārāja, Bali Mahārāja, Vyāsadeva, Śukadeva Gosvāmī and other great sages visited Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Seeing Him, they became unconscious in ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa.
- Prahlāda Mahārāja was a great devotee of Lord Viṣṇu, while his father, Hiraṇyakaśipu, strongly opposed Viṣṇu. His father inflicted all kinds of bodily pain upon him.
- When the torture became intolerable, the Supreme Lord appeared as Nṛsiṁhadeva and killed Hiraṇyakaśipu.
