Making a loud, shrill sound of laughter, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nārāyana, who is extremely strong and powerful, captured Hiranyakaśipu, who was protecting himself with his sword and shield, leaving no gaps open. With the speed of a hawk, Hiranyakaśipu moved sometimes in the sky and sometimes on the earth, his eyes closed because of fear of Nrisimhadeva's laughter.
