Divine Glory · Light Shining Even in Unlikely Places

प्रह्लादश्चास्मि दैत्यानां कालः कलयतामहम् । मृगाणां च मृगेन्द्रोऽहं वैनतेयश्च पक्षिणाम् ॥

prahlādaś cāsmi daityānāṁ kālaḥ kalayatām aham, mṛgāṇāṁ ca mṛgendro'haṁ vainateyaś ca pakṣiṇām.

Meaning

"Among the demons, I am Prahlada; among reckoners, I am time; among animals, I am the lion; among birds, I am Garuda."

Explanation

Even among the flawed or fearsome, a spark of devotion or strength can still shine through, like Prahlada among demons.
