यो नो गतिं योगसिद्धामसाधु
रहार्षीद् योगतपोबलेन ।
नाना दर्पं तं नखैर्विददार
तस्मै तुभ्यं प्रणताः स्मो नृसिंह ॥४५॥
Å›rÄ«-siddhÄ Å«cuḥ
yo no gatiá¹ yoga-siddhÄm asÄdhur
ahÄrṣīd yoga-tapo-balena
nÄnÄ darpaá¹ taá¹ nakhair vidadÄra
tasmai tubhyaá¹ praṇatÄḥ smo ná¹›siá¹ha
Å›rÄ«-siddhÄḥ Å«cuḥ - the inhabitants of Siddhaloka said; yaḥ - the person who; naḥ - our; gatim - perfection; yoga-siddhÄm - achieved by mystic yoga; asÄdhuḥ - most uncivilized and dishonest; ahÄrṣīt - stole away; yoga - of mysticism; tapaḥ - and austerities; balena - by the power; nÄnÄ darpam - proud due to wealth, opulence and strength; tam - him; nakhaiḥ - by the nails; vidadÄra - pierced; tasmai - unto him; tubhyam - unto You; praṇatÄḥ - bowed down; smaḥ - we are; ná¹›siá¹ha - O Lord Ná¹›siá¹hadeva.
The inhabitants of Siddhaloka prayed: O Lord Ná¹›siá¹hadeva, because we belong to Siddhaloka, we automatically achieve perfection in all eight kinds of mystic power. Yet HiraṇyakaÅ›ipu was so dishonest that by the strength of his power and austerity, he took away our powers. Thus he became very proud of his mystic strength. Now, because this rogue has been killed by Your nails, we offer our respectful obeisances unto You.
On earth there are many yogÄ«s who can exhibit some feeble mystic power by manufacturing pieces of gold like magic, but the inhabitants of the planet Siddhaloka are actually extremely powerful in mysticism. They can fly from one planet to another without airplanes. This is called laghimÄ-siddhi. They can actually become very light and fly in the sky. By a severe type of austerity, however, HiraṇyakaÅ›ipu excelled all the inhabitants of Siddhaloka and created disturbances for them. The residents of Siddhaloka were also beaten by the powers of HiraṇyakaÅ›ipu. Now that HiraṇyakaÅ›ipu had been killed by the Lord, the inhabitants of Siddhaloka also felt relieved.
