PLATE SEVEN
Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, was greatly pleased by the pure devotion of Prahlāda Mahārāja, and ordered him to take charge of his father's kingdom. Thereafter, the inauguration of Prahlāda Mahārāja was performed by Lord Brahmā in the presence of other saintly persons and demigods. Thus, as ordered by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Prahlāda Mahārāja was made the King of all the demons and giants in the universe. Prahlāda Mahārāja was the most exalted devotee of the Lord, and never desired any kind of material opulence. Nonetheless, the Supreme Lord allowed him to enjoy the kingdom created by his father. Whenever and wherever there are peaceful, equipoised devotees who are well behaved and decorated with all good qualities, that place and the dynasties there, even if condemned, are purified. Those who follow Prahlāda's example will naturally become pure devotees of the Lord. He is the best example of a devotee, and others should follow in his footsteps. ( pp. 295–316 )
