Text 39] Hiranyakasipu Terrorizes the Universe 205

tivities; govinda—by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who enlivens
the senses; parirambhitah—being embraced.

TRANSLATION

Prahlada Maharaja was always absorbed in thought of Krsna.
Thus, being always embraced by the Lord, he did not know how
his bodily necessities, such as sitting, walking, eating, lying down,
drinking and talking, were being automatically performed.

PURPORT

A small child, while being cared for by his mother, does not know how
the needs of the body for eating, sleeping, lying down, passing water and
evacuating are being fulfilled. He is simply satisfied to be on the lap of
his mother. Similarly, Prahlada Maharaja was exactly like a small child,
being cared for by Govinda. The necessary activities of his body were
performed without his knowledge. As a father and mother care for their
child, Govinda cared for Prahlada Maharaja, who remained always ab-
sorbed in thoughts of Govinda. This is Krsna consciousness. Prahlada
Maharaja is the vivid example of perfection in Krsna consciousness.
