Text 23] HiranyakaSipu’s Plan to Become Immortal 149
kamandalu-jalenauksad
divyenamogha-radhasa
Sri-nadradah uvdca—Sri Narada Muni said; iti—thus; uktvd —saying;
adi-bhavah—Lord Brahmi, the original living creature within this uni-
verse;  devah—the principal demigod; = bhaksita-angam—
Hiranyakasipu’s body, which had been almost completely eaten;
pipilikaih—by the ants; kamandalu—from the special waterpot in the
hands of Lord Brahma; jalena—by water; auksat—sprinkled;
divyena—which was spiritual, not ordinary; amogha—without fail;
radhasd—whose power.
TRANSLATION
Sri Narada Muni continued: After speaking these words to
Hiranyakasipu, Lord Brahma, the original being of this universe,
who is extremely powerful, sprinkled transcendental, infallible,
spiritual water from his kamandalu upon Hiranyakasipu’s body,
which had been eaten away by ants and moths. Thus he enlivened
Hiranyakasipu.
PURPORT
Lord Brahma is the first created being within this universe and is em-
powered by the Supreme Lord to create. Tene brahma hrda ya ddi-
kavaye: the ddi-deva, or ddi-kavi—the first living creature—was per-
sonally taught by the Supreme Personality of Godhead through the heart.
There was no one to teach him, but since the Lord is situated within
Brahma’s heart, Brahma was educated by the Lord Himself. Lord
Brahma, being especially empowered, is infallible in doing whatever he
wants. This is the meaning of the word amogha-radhasd. He desired to
restore Hiranyakasipu’s original body, and therefore, by sprinkling tran-
scendental water from his waterpot, he immediately did so.
