oṁ namo bhagavate tubhyaṁ
oṁ namo bhagavate tubhyaṁ
puruṣāya mahātmane
haraye 'dbhuta-siṁhāya
brahmaṇe paramātmane
I offer respects to the Lord, full of six qualities, the puruṣa, the great soul, the killer of all miseries, the wonderful lion and man, who is Brahman and Paramātmā.
“Merging with me is revered by the sages who are ātmārāma. Why do you, just a little demon boy, criticize it?” Thinking himself defeated by these words of the Lord, Prahlāda offers respects.

śrī-bhagavān uvāca
naikāntino me mayi jātv ihāśiṣa
āśāsate 'mutra ca ye bhavad-vidhāḥ
tathāpi manvantaram etad atra
daityeśvarāṇām anubhuṅkṣva bhogān
The Lord said: O Prahlāda! A devotee like you never desires any kind of material benedictions, either in this life or in the next. Nonetheless, I order you to enjoy the luxuries of the demons until the end of the Manvantara.
Not only you, but all my devotees have this nature. I will give this for only this Manvantara, not longer. Do not be angry.
|| 7.10.12 ||
kathā madīyā juṣamāṇaḥ priyās tvam
āveśya mām ātmani santam ekam
sarveṣu bhūteṣv adhiyajñam īśaṁ
yajasva yogena ca karma hinvan
Continuously hearing topics about me and always being absorbed in me in your mind, worship me, the Lord of sacrifice, situated in all beings, by bhakti-yoga, while giving up karma-yoga.
“Because of what offense are you throwing me in the hole of material life?” Worship me, the Lord of sacrifices, by bhakti-yoga. By this, all sacrifices will be performed without doing horse sacrifices. Give up all karmas, Vedic and secular, since the person qualified for bhakti should not do karmas.
