Nrsimha_PrahladGiriraj Swami read and spoke from Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.7.14

“When Krishna comes home from the pasturing grounds in the late afternoon, his body is sprinkled with the dust raised by the hooves of the cows and calves as they walk before him. The residents of Vrindavan see that Krishna’s beauty is enhanced by the dust and beads of perspiration that decorate His body. Every element accentuates Krishna’s beauty. Similarly, when devotees see Lord Nrsimhadeva splattered with the blood from Hiranyakasipu, they think that the drops of blood enhance Lord Nrsimahadeva’s beauty. The relationship between the devotees and the Lord is very beautiful. We can see from this incident how seriously the Lord takes an offense against His devotee.”
