PLATE SEVEN

Lord Nrsirnhadeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, was greatly
pleased by the pure devotion of Prahlada Maharaja, and ordered him to
take charge of his father’s kingdom. Thereafter, the inauguration of
Prahlada Maharaja was performed by Lord Brahma in the presence of
other saintly persons and demigods. Thus, as ordered by the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Prahlada Maharaja was made the King of all the
demons and giants in the universe. Prahlada Maharaja was the most ex-
alted devotee of the Lord, and never desired any kind of material opu-
lence. Nonetheless, the Supreme Lord allowed him to enjoy the kingdom
created by his father. Whenever and wherever there are peaceful,
equipoised devotees who are well behaved and decorated with all good
qualities, that place and the dynasties there, even if condemned, are
purified. Those who follow Prahlada’s example will naturally become
pure devotees of the Lord. He is the best example of a devotee, and
others should follow in his footsteps. (pp. 295-316)
