Making a loud, shrill sound of laughter, the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead, Narayana, who is extremely strong and
powerful, captured Hiranyakasipu, who was protecting himself
with his sword and shield, leaving no gaps open. With the speed of
a hawk, Hiranyakasipu moved sometimes in the sky and sometimes
on the earth, his eyes closed because of fear of Nrsitmmhadeva’s
laughter.
