Here’s the **English translation** of the dramatic Yakshagana-style dialogue where **Hiraṇyakaśipu mocks and challenges Lord Narasimha**:

## 🎭 Dialogue: “The Roar of Arrogance”
### 🎬 Scene: Near the Pillar, Royal Court
**(Hiraṇyakaśipu stands before the pillar, scolding Prahlāda)**
**Hiraṇyakaśipu (mocking):**
So this is your Viṣṇu?
Hiding in a pillar?
Your god is a coward —
He neither appears nor answers!
**(He strikes the pillar — thunderous sound, dramatic music)**
**(Narasimha emerges — lion-faced, blazing, with claws)**
**Hiraṇyakaśipu (shocked):**
What is this?
Neither man nor beast!
Your form is grotesque —
Are you some forest demon?
**Narasimha (roaring):**
I am the lion of truth!
For tyrants like you —
I am death itself!
**Hiraṇyakaśipu (laughing):**
Death? You?
I have a boon from Brahmā!
No one can kill me —
Not by day, not by night.
Not inside, not outside.
Not by man, not by beast.
Not by weapon, not by tool.
**(He laughs, echoing through the court)**
**Hiraṇyakaśipu (pointing):**
And you?
You look like a wild lion —
A stray from the jungle!
You dare fight me?
I am Hiraṇyakaśipu — Lord of the Three Worlds!
**Narasimha (calm but fierce):**
Your boon is your boundary.
And I —
Have come from beyond it.
Now watch,
How your arrogance is torn apart..
one day in some universse or life time, i hope HpS can act as Narsimha, and myself as Hiranyakasipu.. and hope parampara will feel happy
HpS - So nice. Thank you.
If we just go on chan ting HK, then, by his divine grace, we will see pastimes we never read in any of Srila Prabhupada's books.
