Prahlāda Pacifies the Lord with Prayers
191
astauṣīd dharim ekāgra- manasā susamāhitaḥ prema-gadgadayā vācā tan-nyasta-hṛdayekṣaṇaḥ
astauṣīt —he began to offer prayers;  harim —unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead;  ekāgra-manasā —the mind being completely fixed upon the lotus feet of the Lord;  su-samāhitaḥ —very attentive (without diversion to any other subject);  prema-gadgadayā —faltering because of feeling transcendental bliss;  vācā —with a voice;  tat-nyasta —being fully dedicated to Him (Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva);  hṛdaya-īkṣaṇaḥ —with heart and sight.
TRANSLATION
Prahlāda Mahārāja fixed his mind and sight upon Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva with full attention in complete trance. With a fixed mind, he began to offer prayers in love with a faltering voice.
PURPORT
The word  susamāhitaḥ  means “very attentive” or “fully fixed.” The ability to fix the mind in this way is a result of  yoga-siddhi , mystic perfection. As it is stated in  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (12.13.1),  dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ yoginaḥ . One attains yogic perfection when he is freed from all material diversions and his mind is fixed upon the lotus feet of the Lord. This is called  samādhi  or trance. Prahlāda Mahārāja attained that stage beyond the senses. Because he was engaged in service, he felt transcendentally situated, and naturally his mind and attention became saturated in transcendence. In that condition, he began to offer his prayers as follows.

ब्रह्मादयः सुरगणा मुनयोऽथ सिद्धाः
सत्त्वैकतानगतयो वचसां प्रवाहैः ।
नाराधितं पुरुगुणैरधुनापि पिप्रः
किं तोष्टुमर्हति स मे हरिरुग्रजातेः ॥ ८ ॥
