Ultimately, l(rQa is the supreme living being,the father of all others. Aham bija-prada pita: He is the seed-givingfather of all living entities.Thus far, HiraQyakasipu has adored Lord Brahma as the SupremePersonality of Godhead and has expected to become immortal by thebenediction of Lord Brahma. Now, however, having come to understandthat even Lord Brahma is not immortal because at the end of the millenniumLord Brahma will also die, HiraQyakasipu is very carefully askinghim for benedictions that will be almost as good as immortality. His firstproposal is that he not be killed by any of the different forms of livingentities created by Lord Brahma within this material world.TEXT 36 w:ll411fq- :q'l: I" ;M 1111nantar bahir diva naktamanyasmiid api ciiyudhaina bhumau nambare mrtyurna narair na mrgair apina-not; anta-inside (the palace or home); bahi-outside thehome; diva-during the daytime; naktam-during the night; anyasmat-fromany others beyond Lord Brahma; api-even; ca-also;
