On the be wilderment of the Asura group
Sri Vasista
-2 Thinking thus, Prahlada settled in 'nirvikalpa samadhi'. Attaining the Brahman-state, he looked like a statue.
-11 Prahlada spent thousand years in this state. Then he looked like the sacred 'Meru'. His ministers could not awaken him. Because of the death of Hiranyakasipu and Prahlada's 'samadhi' state, there was anarchy in the kingdom. Since nothing entered Prahlada's mind, the ministers and 'asura' leaders could not wake him up.
-18 . The kingdom moved into a state of anarchy with the mighty exploiting the weak. Even good people started behaving like wicked people. All traditions and proper tenets of behaviour were thrown to winds. Women were assaulted. The oppressed started weeping for their state. People of good character were robbed by evil minded people. Everyone was stupefied by the state of the kingdom. Children of gods came and humiliated the 'asuras'. It was like the happenings in Kaliyuga.
