ÅšrÄ« NÄrada Muni said: My dear King Yudhiá¹£á¹hira, when Lord Viṣṇu, in the form of VarÄha, the boar, killed HiraṇyÄká¹£a, HiraṇyÄká¹£a’s brother HiraṇyakaÅ›ipu was extremely angry and began to lament.
Yudhiá¹£á¹hira had inquired from NÄrada Muni why HiraṇyakaÅ›ipu was so envious of his own son PrahlÄda. NÄrada Muni began narrating the story by explaining how HiraṇyakaÅ›ipu had become a staunch enemy of Lord Viṣṇu.
