Hiranyakashipu is frustrated because he has tried everything to teach Prahlad a lesson, but he is unable to do so because Prahlad continues to pray and has a tremendous devotion to Narayan. Hiranyakashipu has a disagreement with Prahlad concerning the presence of Lord Vishnu and makes preparations to kill Prahlad himself. Prahlad claims that when he was still in his mother's womb, Narad Muni saved his mother from being abducted by Lord Indra. He claims to have gained devotional training in Narad Muni's ashram. The Narsimha avatar of Narayan comes via the pillar as Hiranyakashipu prepares to slay Prahlad.
