conquer anyone; sah—he (Hiranyakasipu); yena—by whom;

tam—unto Him; méyd-nrsimham—appearing as Lord Nrsitnhadeva by

TRANSLATION

The inhabitants of Vidyadhara-loka prayed: Our acquired power
to appear and disappear in various ways according to varieties of
meditation was banned by that foolish Hiranyakasipu because of
his pride in his superior bodily strength and his ability to conquer
others. Now the Supreme Personality of Godhead has killed him
just as if the demon were an animal. Unto that supreme pastime
form of Lord Nrsitmhadeva, we eternally offer our respectful obei-
sances.
