TRANSLATION
Though struck indifferently by the Lord, the conquerer of all, the
demon’s body began to wheel. His eyeballs bulged out of their sockets.
His arms and legs broken and the hair on his head scattered, he fell down
dead, like a gigantic tree uprooted by the wind.
PURPORT
It does not take even a moment for the Lord to kill any powerful
demon, including Hiranyakga. He could have killed him long before, but
He allowed him to display the full extent of his magical feats. One may
know that by magical feats, by scientific advancement of knowledge or by
material power one cannot become the equal of the Supreme Personality
of Godhead. His one signal is sufficient to destroy all our attempts. His
inconceivable power, as displayed here, is so strong that the demon,
despite all his demoniac maneuvers, was killed by the Lord when the Lord
desired, simply by one slap.
