HiranyakaSipu had been exactly like a fever of meningitis in the
head of the three worlds. Thus when the wives of the demigods in
the heavenly planets saw that the great demon had been killed by
the personal hands of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, their
faces blossomed in great joy. The wives of the demigods again and
again showered flowers from heaven upon Lord Nrsimbhadeva like
rain.
