Sanskrit Original
श्रीइन्द्र उवाच प्रत्यानीता: परम भवता त्रायता न: स्वभागा दैत्याक्रान्तं हृदयकमलं तद्गृहं प्रत्यबोधि । कालग्रस्तं कियदिदमहो नाथ शुश्रूषतां ते मुक्तिस्तेषां न हि बहुमता नारसिंहापरै: किम् ॥ ४२ ॥
śrī-indra uvāca pratyānītāḥ parama bhavatā trāyatā naḥ sva-bhāgā daityākrāntaṁ hṛdaya-kamalaṁ tad-gṛhaṁ pratyabodhi kāla-grastaṁ kiyad idam aho nātha śuśrūṣatāṁ te muktis teṣāṁ na hi bahumatā nārasiṁhāparaiḥ kim
King Indra said: O Supreme Lord, You are our deliverer and protector. Our shares of sacrifices, which are actually Yours, have been recovered from the demon by You. Because the demoniac king Hiraṇyakaśipu was most fearsome, our hearts, which are Your permanent abode, were all overtaken by him. Now, by Your presence, the gloom and darkness in our hearts have been dissipated. O Lord, for those who always engage in Your service, which is more exalted than liberation, all material opulence is insignificant. They do not even care for liberation, not to speak of the benefits of kāma, artha and dharma.
