Commanded by Narada, Prahlada, the best of bhaktas, descended this earth in the Madhva Kula to defeat the wicked Kali. His father named him Lakshmi Narasimhan. The child grew gradually like the moon on the waxing phase. His father expired after performing the karmas like Choula. The boy was giving consolation to his widowed mother. The mother was very sad and had to undergo great troubles as she was poor, was not carried for her by her relatives, and had the great responsibility of bringing up the child. The child afflicted by hunger used to go out in the streets of the agrahara with a bowl begging for food in a sweet voice. Yogishwara Kevalram happened to meet him once. He embraced the boy with great joy and gave him a moorti of Lord Krishna. Though the small boy was startled to see the yogi unexpectedly, he became very happy looking at the moorti of Shri Krishna. As his job was over, the yogishwara disappeared. The happy child ran home holding the moorti. Looking at the moorti, hearing all detail from him. the mother learnt that some yogishwara had most favorably blessed the child.
