Goddess Laxmi is worried about Prahlad’s fate because the bullock cart he fell in is going towards Hiranyakshipu’s kingdom. The bullock cart owner is accused of harboring a traitor and is produced before the King. He is angry to see Prahlad alive and orders him to be kept in prison until further notice. Swarbhanu advises the King to poison Prahlad. Whe he is poisoned nothing happens to him. Lord Shiva has taken the poison himself.
