" Sage  NArada said to Yudhishtra as follows:
Lord Nrisimhamurthi was immensely pleased with the wonderful and humble 
praises of His devotee, Sri PrahlAda who was standing close by with bended 
knees and spoke to him thus."
==================================================
vatsa! PrahlAda!  Badram thE preethO aham thE asurOththama/

devotees"

Meaning
"Oh! Long living one!. Long life to you! Oh! PrahlAda! 
If one does not please me, it is impossible for him to have my Darsan. If one 
attains my Darsan, then he shall not be in the least deserving to suffer any 
pain whatsoever. There will be no room for the least sorrow for such a man 
who has had my Darsan"

Meaning
" All good men (i.e) SAdhus always try to please me by all possible ways. 
They are really men desirous of attaining Moksha. They are really the blessed 
people. They please me,  who is the bestower of all wishes of my devotees"

Meaning
" That great one among Asuras (i.e) PrahlAda, even though tempted by the Lord 
Himself with tempting boons which will naturally entice ordinary common 
folks, he did not desire for such boons since all his concentration and 
meditation was upon BhagavAn Himself and no others"
