Prahlada |
 | | According to some accounts, it was to avenge Prahlada, as well as to indicate his own insulted majesty, that Vishnu became incarnate as the Narasinha, 'man-lion,' and slew Hiranyakasipu. |
 | | After the death of his father, Prahlada became king of the Daityas and dwelt in Patala; but, according to the Padma Purana, he was raised to the rank of Indra for life, and finally united with Vishnu. |
 | | In this previous existence Prahlada was a Brahman name Somasarman, fifth son of Shivasarman. |
