PLATE SIX

After being ordered by Hiranyakasipu to kill Prahlada Maharaja, his
servants, the demon Raksasas, began striking the tender parts of
Prahlada Maharaja’s body with their tridents. The demons all had fearful
faces, sharp teeth and reddish, coppery beards and hair, and they ap-
peared extremely threatening. Making a tumultuous sound, shouting,
“Chop him up! Pierce him!” they began striking Prahlada Maharaja,
who sat silently, meditating upon the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Prahlada Maharaja was a great devotee, undisturbed by material condi-
tions and fully engaged in meditating upon and serving the Supreme
Personality of Godhead. Thus the weapons of the demons had no tangible
effects upon him. (pp. 279-280)
