O most unfortunate Prahlāda, you have always described a supreme being other than me, a supreme being who is above everything, who is the controller of everyone, and who is all-pervading. But where is He? If He is everywhere, then why is He not present before me in this pillar?
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्
मूल श्लोकः
हिरण्यकशिपुरुवाच । व्यक्तं त्वं मर्तुकामोऽसि योऽतिमात्रं विकत्थसे । मुमूर्षूणां हि मन्दात्मन् ननु स्युर्विप्लवा गिरः
hiraṇyakaśipuruvāca | vyaktaṃ tvaṃ martukāmo'si yo'timātraṃ vikatthase | mumūrṣūṇāṃ hi mandātman nanu syurviplavā giraḥ
