Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 7 - Chapter 1 - Verse 51


Sanskrit:

श्रीनारद उवाचएतावद्वर्णितगुणो भक्त्या भक्तेन निर्गुण: ।प्रह्रादं प्रणतं प्रीतो यतमन्युरभाषत ॥ ५१ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-nārada uvācaetāvad varṇita-guṇobhaktyā bhaktena nirguṇaḥprahrādaṁ praṇataṁ prītoyata-manyur abhāṣata

Translation:

The great saint Nārada said: Thus Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva was pacified by the devotee Prahlāda Mahārāja with prayers offered from the transcendental platform. The Lord gave up His anger, and being very kind to Prahlāda, who was offering prostrated obeisances, He spoke as follows.

Purport:

The word nirguṇa is important. The Māyāvādī philosophers accept the Absolute Truth as nirguṇa or nirākāra. The word nirguṇa refers to one who possesses no material qualities. The Lord, being full of spiritual qualities, gave up all His anger and spoke to Prahlāda.
