Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 7, Ch. 13]
fat, and therefore Prahlāda Mahārāja was very much surprised. Because of being experienced in self-realization, a transcendentalist certainly becomes bright-faced. And one who is advanced in self-realization must be considered to possess the body of a  brāhmaṇa . Because the bright-faced saintly person was lying down and not working and yet was quite fat, Prahlāda Mahārāja was puzzled and wanted to question him about this.
TEXT 19
कविः कल्पो निपुणदक् चित्रप्रियकथः समः ।
लोकस्य कुर्वतः कर्म शेषे तद्वीक्षितापि वा ॥१९॥
kaviḥ kalpo nipuṇa-dṛk citra-priya-kathaḥ samaḥ lokasya kurvataḥ karma śeṣe tad-vīkṣitāpi vā
kaviḥ —very learned;  kalpaḥ —expert;  nipuṇa-dṛk —intelligent;  citra-priya-kathaḥ —able to speak palatable words that are pleasing to the heart;  samaḥ —equipoised;  lokasya —of the people in general;  kurvataḥ —engaged in;  karma —fruitive work;  śeṣe —you lie down;  tat-vīkṣitā —seeing them all;  api —although;  vā —either.
TRANSLATION
Your Honor appears learned, expert and intelligent in every way. You can speak very well, saying things that are pleasing to the heart. You see that people in general are engaged in fruitive activities, yet you are lying here inactive.
PURPORT
Prahlāda Mahārāja studied the bodily features of the saintly person, and through the saint's physiognomy Prahlāda Mahārāja could understand that he was intelligent and expert, although he was lying down and not doing anything. Prahlāda was naturally inquisitive about why he was lying there inactive.
