As a matter of fact, he wanted to be immortal so that he could rule the world and to fulfill his desire, he worshipped Lord Brahma and did a hard penance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of his strong prayers, Lord Brahma gave him a boon which stated that neither inside the door nor outside the door, neither human nor an animal, neither during the day nor in the night, neither on the land nor in the water or air, nor by any weapon could the king be killed. The boon made Hiranyakashyap powerful and as a result, he became more wicked and treacherous. However, he had no power over Prahlad, his own son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prahlad was a righteous child and the biggest devotee of Lord Vishnu. To stop him, he made various attempts but at last, the demon king plotted to slaughter him with the help of his sister Holika, a woman with a boon to not get burnt in the fire. But when Holika tried to kill Prahlad by taking him into the pyre of fire, fired devoured her while Prahlad lived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, to save him from his wicked father, Lord Vishnu took the form of Narsimha.
