Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: When the King offered prayers, the Sudarśana cakra which was burning the brāhmaṇa became completely peaceful because of the request.
Though the cakra was burning the brāhmaṇa completely, it became peaceful.

Personal Guidance
The cakra responds not to Ambarīṣa's power but to his prayer. Forces that look implacable can be pacified the instant a devotee opens his mouth on behalf of another.
