In the Padma Purana, it is said that he will attain the status of a Muni in a few years. His father abandoned him, which does not seem right to me. ||16|| Even a moment spent with Vidhyut Prabha is a source of happiness, while an eternity spent with a lowly creature is not. ||162||
Upon hearing this, Prahlaadi, inflamed by the fire of anger, trembled and his complexion changed in an instant. ||163||
He bit his lip, drew his sword from its sheath, and his eyes, filled with a crimson glow, enveloped the entire horizon. ||164||
He said to his friend, "Oh, Prahasita! This must be what this girl desires, for this woman is speaking such vile things in her presence." ||165||
"Therefore, watch as I sever the heads of both of them. May Vidhyut Prabha, the beloved of my heart, protect them now." ||166||
Hearing these words, Prahasita, whose forehead was furrowed with anger, replied, "Friend, friend, stop this pointless effort, it is not your place. Your sword is meant for destroying enemies, not women." ||167-168||
"Therefore, see how I will silence this wicked woman with this rod and make her lifeless." ||169||
Seeing Prahasita's immense rage, Pavananjay forgot his own anger, sheathed his sword, ||170||
and his entire body became attuned to its natural state, meaning his anger subsided. Then he spoke to his friend, who was determined to commit a cruel act. ||171||
"My friend, calm down. These women are not worthy of your anger, you who are adorned with victories in countless battles." ||172||
"It is not right for anyone to kill women, let alone for you, who can cleave the skulls of maddened elephants. How could it be right for you?" ||173||
"It is not fitting for men born into noble families and renowned for their virtues to engage in such acts that defile their reputation." ||174||
"Therefore, rise and let us return by the same path. The minds of people are diverse, so it is not appropriate to be angry with them." ||175||
