Verse Text
nāradasya prasādena prahlāde śubha-vāsanā |
nisargaḥ saiva tenātra ratir naisargikī matā ||22||
Translation
Favor or nisarga was granted to Prahlāda by Nārada and this created devotional impressions. Thus his rati is called naisargikī (through mercy).
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
This natural attraction for Kṛṣṇa on the part of Prahlāda was developed simply by the mercy of Nārada. When Prahlāda Mahārāja was within the womb of his mother, she was being sympathetically instructed by Nārada about the science of devotional service, and at the same time Nārada was wishing that the child within the womb could also take advantage of the instructions. Because Nārada, an authorized devotee and great associate of the Personality of Godhead, was desiring auspiciousness for Prahlāda Mahārāja, he developed all the characteristics of a high-grade devotee. This is called natural attraction. It is caused by the special grace of the Personality of Godhead or by the special grace of a great devotee like Nārada.
