Your Honor appears learned, expert and intelligent in every way. You can speak very well, saying things that are pleasing to the heart. You see that people in general are engaged in fruitive activities, yet you are lying here inactive.
PrahlÄda MahÄrÄja studied the bodily features of the saintly person, and through the saint’s physiognomy PrahlÄda MahÄrÄja could understand that he was intelligent and expert, although he was lying down and not doing anything. PrahlÄda was naturally inquisitive about why he was lying there inactive.
