Verse Text
atha tad-bhakta-prasādajaḥ, yathā saptame—
guṇair alam asaṅkhyeyair mahātmyaṁ tasya sūcyate |
vāsudeve bhagavati yasya naisargikī ratiḥ ||21||
Translation
Bhāva arising from the devotee’s mercy is explained in the Seventh Canto: Who could list the innumerable transcendental qualities of Prahlāda Mahārāja? He had unflinching faith in Vāsudeva, Lord Kṛṣṇa, and unalloyed devotion to Him. His rati to Lord Kṛṣṇa was naisargikī, through mercy. Although his good qualities cannot be enumerated, they prove that he was a great soul. SB 7.4.36
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
As for ecstatic love of Kṛṣṇa, there is a statement in the Seventh Canto, Fourth Chapter, verse 36, of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, in which Nārada addresses King Yudhiṣṭhira, “My dear King, it is very difficult to describe the character of Prahlāda. He developed a natural attraction for Kṛṣṇa, and whatever I can explain about his character will simply be an arrangement of words; his actual character is impossible to describe.” This means that Nārada himself admitted that the natural development of Prahlāda’s ecstatic love was by the grace of Lord Kṛṣṇa.
