WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira inquired: O my lord, Nārada Muni, why was there such enmity between Hiraṇyakaśipu and his beloved son Prahlāda Mahārāja? How did Prahlāda Mahārāja become such a great devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa? Kindly explain this to me.

PURPORT

All the devotees of Lord Kṛṣṇa are called acyutātmā because they follow in the footsteps of Prahlāda Mahārāja. Acyuta refers to the infallible Lord Viṣṇu, whose heart is always infallible. Because the devotees are attached to the Infallible, they are called acyutātmā.

Thus end the purports by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svāmi Prabhupāda of the Seventh Canto, First Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “The Supreme Lord Is Equal to Everyone.”
