vatsa prahrāda bhadraṁ te
vatsa prahrāda bhadraṁ te
prayāhi sutalālayam
modamānaḥ sva-pautreṇa
jñātīnāṁ sukham āvaha
The Lord said: My dear son Prahlāda, all good fortune unto you! Please go to the place known as Sutala while rejoicing and there enjoy happiness with your grandson and your other relatives.
|| 8.23.10 ||
nityaṁ draṣṭāsi māṁ tatra
gadā-pāṇim avasthitam
mad-darśana-mahāhlāda-
dhvasta-karma-nibandhanaḥ
All bondage of karma has already been destroyed by the great bliss of seeing me. Now you will constantly see me there with a club in my hand.
All saṁsāra caused by bondage of karma was already destroyed the first time you experienced bliss when you first saw me.
|| 8.23.11-12 ||
śrī-śuka uvāca
ājñāṁ bhagavato rājan
prahrādo balinā saha
bāḍham ity amala-prajño
mūrdhny ādhāya kṛtāñjaliḥ
parikramyādi-puruṣaṁ
sarvāsura-camūpatiḥ
praṇatas tad-anujñātaḥ
praviveśa mahā-bilam
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O King! Accompanied by Bali Mahārāja, Prahlāda Mahārāja, the master of all the chiefs of the demons, took the Supreme Lord's order on his head with folded hands. After agreeing and circumambulating the Lord, offering respects and taking permission, he entered Sutala.
|| 8.23.13 ||
athāhośanasaṁ rājan
harir nārāyaṇo 'ntike
āsīnam ṛtvijāṁ madhye
sadasi brahma-vādinām
O King! Nārāyaṇa, who removes offenses, thereafter addressed Śukrācārya, who was sitting nearby in the midst of the assembly of priests, knowers of the Vedas.
Hari means “the Lord who takes away the offense of Śukrācārya because he was related to Bali.”
|| 8.23.14 ||
brahman santanu śiṣyasya
karma-cchidraṁ vitanvataḥ
yat tat karmasu vaiṣamyaṁ
brahma-dṛṣṭaṁ samaṁ bhavet
