TRANSLATION
O my Lord Nrisimha, Your
hands are very beautiful like the lotus flower, but with Your long nails You have
ripped apart the wasp Hiranyakashipu. Unto You, Lord of the universe, I offer
my humble obeisances to You.
O Kesava! O Lord of the
universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of half-man, half-lion! All glories
to You! Just as one can easily crush a wasp between one's fingernails, so in the
same way the body of the wasp like demon Hiranyakasipu has been ripped apart by
the wonderful pointed nails on Your beautiful lotus hands. (This verse is from
Shri Dasavatara-stotra, the Gita-govinda, written by Jayadeva Gosvami.)

Blissful - das Herz hüpft in Freude
Hiranyakashipu
was an atheist who denied the existence of God, but God came as Lord Nrisimhadeva,
a half-man, half-lion incarnation, and killed him. Therefore praise is given to
the Lord as supreme controller of the universe and all living entities (jaya jagadisha
hare).
Hiranyakashipu studied the
form of the Lord, trying to decide who the form of Nrisimhadeva standing before
him was. The Lord's form was extremely fearsome because of His angry eyes, which
resembled molten gold; His shining mane, which expanded the dimensions of His
fearful face; His deadly teethl and His razor-sharp tongue, which moved about
like a duelling sword. His ears were erect and motionless, and His nostrils and
gaping mouth appeared like caves of a mountain. His jaws parted fearfully, and
His entire body touched the sky. His neck was very short and thick, His chest
broad, His waist thin, and the hairs on His body as white as the rays of the moon.
His arms, which resembled flanks of soldiers, spread in all directions as He killed
the demons, rogues and atheists with His conchshell, disc, club, lotus and other
natural weapons. [Bhag., 7.8.19-22]
"The fourth incarnation
is Nrisimhadeva. Nrisimhadeva appeared to save Prahlaada Maharaja,
who was five-years-old boy and he was being tortured by his
atheistic father. So He appeared from the pillar of the palace
as a half-man, half-lion. Because this Hiranyakashipu took
benediction from Brahma that he’ll not be killed by any
man or any animal. So the Lord appeared neither man nor animal.
This is the difference between the Lord’s intelligence
and our intelligence. We are thinking that we can cheat the
Lord by our intelligence, but the Lord is more intelligent
than us.
 This
Hiranyakashipu wanted to cheat Brahma by indirect definition.
First of all he wanted to become immortal. Brahma said, “That
is not possible because even I am not immortal. Nobody in
this material world is immortal. That is not possible.”
So Hiranyakashipu, the demon... The demons are very intelligent.
He thought that “Round about way I shall become immortal.”
He prayed to Brahma that “Please give me the benediction
that I shall not be killed by any man or any animal.”
Brahmaa said, “Yes, that is all right.” “I
shall not be killed in the sky, on the water or on land.”
Brahma said, “Oh yes.” “I shall not be killed
by any man-made weapons.” “That’s all right.”
In this way he utilized his intelligence in so many ways just
to come to the conclusion of being immortal.
But the Lord is so cunning
that He kept intact all the benediction given by Brahma, still he was killed.
He said that “I’ll not be killed either during daytime or night.”
Brahma said “Yes.” So he was killed just in the evening, just in the
junction of day and night. You cannot say it is day or night. He took the benediction
that “I shall not be killed in the sky, on the water, on the land.”
So he was killed on His lap. He took the benediction that “I shall not be
killed by any man-made or any God-made weapons.” That was given, “All
right.” So he was killed by the nails. In this way, all the benedictions
were kept intact, still he was killed. Similarly, we may make plan, we may make
very advancement in scientific knowledge, but the killing process of nature will
be there. Nobody can escape. By our intelligence we cannot escape.
The four principles of material
existence means birth, death, old age and disease. We can manufacture many medicines,
many weapons, many means, many methods, but you cannot escape these four principles
of material existence, however great you may be. That was proved by Hiranyakashipu.
Hiranyakashipu was one of the stalwart materialistic and he wanted to live forever,
enjoy, but he also could not live. Everything was finished" (A.C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada. 18th February 1970. Class on Shri Varaha-dwadasi purporting
the Dasavatara-stotra - Ten main incarnations of the Lord - Los Angeles.)
