PLATE FIVE
After He had killed the great demon Hiraṇyakaśipu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, who had many, many arms, threw the demon's body aside and turned toward his soldiers. These soldiers had come in thousands to battle Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva with raised weapons and were very faithful followers of Hiraṇyakaśipu, but the Lord killed all of them merely with the ends of His nails. The hair on Nṛsiṁhadeva's head shook the clouds and scattered them here and there, His glaring eyes stole the effulgence of the luminaries of the sky, and His breathing agitated the seas and oceans. Because of His roaring, all the elephants in the world began to cry in fear. Airplanes were thrown into outer space and the upper planetary system by the hair on Nṛsiṁhadeva's head. Because of the pressure of the Lord's lotus feet, the earth appeared to slip from its position, and all the hills and mountains sprang up because of His intolerable force. Because of the Lord's bodily effulgence, both the sky and all directions diminished in their natural illumination. Manifesting a full effulgence and a fearsome countenance, Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva exhibited His great anger, power and opulence. (pp. 151-154)
