Dear Sir,

Greetings. I discussed your question with my guru. He says that the world
sees us the way we look at the world and the same holds good Hiranyakasipu.
To Hiranya, his bitter enemy were the devas and Narayanan. In controrary
Prhalada was an ardent devotee of Sriman Narayana. In political situation he
was also apprehensive whether with alliance with the Devas Prahalada will
over throw him. In order to over come his fears he sought a very tricky boon
that he should not be killed in the morning or in the noon. Neither by man
or by a beast. Neith inside nor outside. Prahalada believed that the Lord
existed everywhere and in every form. In this case Lord Narayana proved
right to both a Bhagavatha and an Asura. He fullfiled the desire of both.

It is our mind which looks at the Lord the way we want. I believe that this
is one of the reasons for some many devatas in Hinduism

I hope that this answer is of some relevance

Thanks and Regards
Sangeetha
