Chapter 3: Hiranyakas'ipu's
Plan
to
Become
Immortal
(29) You are the factual
control of the moving beings and the immobile entities; by the life
force you are the source of all activities and the master mind and
source of insight of all alive; the great master of the knowing and
acting senses you are, the controller of all desire, the material
elements and their qualities [compare B.G. 7: 7 ].
Chapter 4:
Hiranyakas'ipu Terrorizes the Universe
(8) In the paradise of
the godly remaining in the riches of all opulence, he lived in
the
highest world, in the palace of the king of heaven as designed by
Vis'vakarmâ, the great asura architect himself; in control of all
the wealth of the world he lived in the abode of Lakshmî.
Chapter 5:
Prahlâda Mahârâja, the Saintly Son
of Hiranyakas'ipu
(30) S'rî
Prahlâda said: 'Persons attached to their material life develop,
because they fail to control their senses in their chewing the chewed
again and again, a life that leads to hell; they never are inclined
towards Krishna [see B.G. 4: 4-5] because
others say so or out of their own understanding, nor will they because
of a
combination of the two [see also B.G. 2: 44].
