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.
