Though he is only a child and is not far from me, he remains energetic in mind, never forgetting my enemy Viṣṇu. He is capable of escaping death like Śunaḥ-śepa. Though he is situated close, he never forgets my enemy (anāryam), Viṣṇu. Prahlāda’s inability to give up his nature is explained through an example. He is resilient like a dog’s tail. Śunaḥ-śepaḥ is also the name of the middle son of Ajīgarta who was sold to Hariścandra by his parents as a sacrifice. He did not remember their harm to him, and took shelter of Viśvāmitra and became a member of his family. He was thus saved from being killed. Prahlāda was similarly able to escape death.
