The Rsis ask Saunaka Rsi questions. Prahlada says that if you surrender to the Lord, He will protect you. The demigods take shelter of the Lord, and the asuras take shelter of their own strength and are against the Lord. Instructions are given to those who have faith! Difference between sukrti and punya.
