As Hiranyakashipu struck at the pillar, he heard a terrific sound which split his ears.Thy roar was so fierce that it made everything inside the vessel of Brahmaanda tremble. Hearing this sound which was never heard before, the Asura king king's heart was shaken by an unknown feeling of dread. Even the lotus born Brahmaa was shaken from his throne.

As the Asura cast his eyes all around in great confused excitement, from the pillar emerged, O Lord! Thy  form which was neither of a beast nor of a human being. While the Asura in an agitated state of mind wondered as to what this terrific creature could be,  Thou expanded into a form with a shining body on which sharp hair was bristling.

May this divine form of Thine flourish and conquer. Thy eyes shining like molten gold,rolling fiercely; Thy copious, flying mane seeming to obscure the entire sky; Thy mouthwide open like a huge cave, with its long projecting tongue, flitting like a sword; the twoincisor teeth on either side of the tongue, looking fierce and terrible. Oh Lord ! Thisform of Thine is the wonder of wonders.

The Asura king rushed towards Thee, Realising without doubt that this must be Vishnu and that he would kill him. He was caught hold of by Thy powerful two arms. The mighty Asura slipped out from Thy clutches. Then grabbing a sword and shield, he displayed astonishing feats of swordsmanship and rushed towards Thee, who were in a mood to swallow all the worlds. O what a wonder!

Catching hold of the wicked Asura quickly with two hands, who was circling around, Thou threw him flat on Thy lap in the doorway, deeply embedded Thy nails in his chest and tore it open.

Abondoning the dead Asura, Thou sprang up hastily with Thy gigantic body bathed in blood and started eating up the entire host of Asuras. O What a wonder!

Universe, affecting both movable and immovable objects .A state of total and unbearable chaos took over.

Thy body looking gruesome with its gory coating of flesh and fat, and wearing the bloodsoaked entrails of the demon, like a garland, Thou wert seated in the midst of the assembly hall, roaring loudly with uncontrollable rage. At that time, none had the courage to come near Thee, in the entire world. All gods, including Siva, Brahma and Indra, stood afar, out of fear, praising Thee, individually. 

Dasakam: 25-- Shlokam: 09

Even then, when Thou were still in a state of unabated rage, by Brahmaa's instruction the boy Prahlaad free of fear prostrated at Thy feet. Thou calmed down being overcome by love and compassion and placed Thy hand on Prahlaad's head. He burst into a hymn in praise of Thee and unasked for received a boon from Thee which was for the benefit of the whole world.

In this way Thou enacted a drama of ferocity. O All Pervading Lord! As described in the Shruti named Taapaneeya, as per the hymns of Thy excellences sung there in, Thou are absolutely pure and free from anger. Thou who are thus, superceding everything else, O Lord! who can overcome Thee? O Thou who are fond of Prahlaad! O Lord of Guruvaayur! be pleased to cure me of all my ailments and protect me from all maladies.

Narayaneeyam dasakam-24 The Story of Prahlad.

Once the lived Hiranyakasipu, the king of the demons.  His brother, another demon who had been creating a disturbance, had been killed by Varaha, an incarnation of Lord Visnu.  Hiranyakasipu also was creating a disturbance by harassing the sages and the demigods.  Hiranyakasipu wanted to get revenge upon Lord Visnu for the killing of his brother so he performed severe austerities:

"Seeing Hiranyakasipu engaged in this austerity, the demigods returned to their respective homes, but while Hiranyakasipu was thus engaged, a kind of fire began blazing from his head, disturbing the entire universe and its inhabitants, including the birds, beasts and demigods. When all the higher and lower planets became too hot to live on, the demigods, being disturbed, left their abodes in the higher planets and went to see Lord Brahma, praying to him that he curtail this unnecessary heat. The demigods disclosed to Lord Brahma Hiranyakasipu's ambition to become immortal, overcoming his short duration of life, and to be the master of all the planetary systems, even Dhruvaloka

Finally, Lord Brahma appeared before Hiranyakasipu but could not give him the boon of immortality for even Lord Brahma is not immortal.  Therefore, Hiranyakasipu tried to ask for benedictions that would make him almost as good as immortal.  Hiranyakasipu asked that he not meet death in any of the following conditions:(a) by any living entity created by Lord Brahma (b) within any residence or outside any residence(c) during the daytime or at night(d) on the ground or in the sky(e) by any weapon, human being, or any animal (h) by anything living or nonliving etc.Prahlada, the son of Hiranyakasipu, was a great devotee and he received initiation while within the womb of his mother:

Hiranyakashipa tried to torture Prahlaada by throwing him down cliffs, getting him stamped by elephants, burning him in fire etc., but nothing happened to the great Hari bhakta. Prahlaada, who had only Shri Hari in his mind, never even thought about anything else. Hence Shri Hari saved him from the tortures of Hiranyakashipa. One day at Sandhya-samayam, fed up with Prahlaada saying Shri Hari is only Paramaatma, His bhakti is only shaashvatam, Hiranyakashipa said “where is your Hari? I even went to Vaikuntham and searched for him to kill him, but he was not there Prahlaada replied “Dont have the doubt that He is here, He is there. He is everyone. Wherever you search for Him with Bhakti, He will be there”. Then with anger Hiranyakashipa said “is it? If so, show Him to Me in this pillar”. Then Mahaavishnu appeared from the pillar in the form of Nara-simham, Hiranyakasipu struck the pillar with his fists not believing Prahlada'sstatement; however Lord Nrsimhadeva, half-man and half-lion incarnation of the Supreme Lord, appeared with A ROAR!

A great fight ensued and Lord Nrsimhadeva killed Hiranyakasipu with his nails.

Lord Nrsimhadeva killed Hiranyakasipu without violating any of the boons Hiranyakasipu had received from Lord Brahma:

(a) Hiranyakasipu was killed by Lord Nrsimhadeva who is not a living entity created by Lord Brahma nor anyone else for He is eternal and unborn.

(b) Hiranyakasipu was killed in the doorway which is neither within any residence nor outside any residence.

(c) Hiranyakasipu was killed in the evening which is neither daytime nor night.

(d) Hiranyakasipu was killed on the lap of Lord Nrsimhadeva which is neither on the ground nor in the sky.

(e) Hiranyakasipu was killed by a half-man and half-lion which is neither a human nor an animal.

(h) Hiranyakasipu was killed by the nails which are neither living nor dead nor count as weapons. etc.

The Bhakti of Prahlaada is ananyam. Though he was kid and his father tortured him so much, he never thought about anything other than Shri Hari. Hence Mahaavishnu saved him. Prahlaada comes first in the list of Bhaktas and is a maarga-darshi for us.

To kill Thee, he even went to Thy abode Vaikuntha. Thou disappeared from his gross vision and entered into his heart in a subtle form. Roaring aloud he searched for Thee in all the three worlds, and not finding Thee, he thought that Thou had fled in fear. Considering himself the winner he returned home.

Coming to know that all the demon children had been induced by Prahlada intopraising Thee, Hiranyakasipu blinded by rage, called him the bane of the demon raceand asked him who his supporter was.
