While Hiraṇyakaśipu looked all around to find the source of the sound, that wonderful form of the Lord, which could not be ascertained to be either a man or a lion, emerged from the pillar. In amazement, Hiraṇyakaśipu wondered, “What is this creature that is half man and half lion?”

ŚB 7.8.18 · गीता प्रेस पाठ

सत्यं विधातुं निजभृत्यभाषितं व्याप्तिं च भूतेष्वखिलेषु चात्मन:। अदृश्यतात्यद‍्भुतरूपमुद्वहन् स्तम्भे सभायां न मृगं न मानुषम्॥ १८

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

इसी समय अपने सेवक प्रह्लाद और ब्रह्माकी वाणी सत्य करने और समस्त पदार्थोंमें अपनी व्यापकता दिखानेके लिये सभाके भीतर उसी खंभेमें बड़ा ही विचित्र रूप धारण करके भगवान् प्रकट हुए। वह रूप न तो पूरा-पूरा सिंहका ही था और न मनुष्यका ही॥ १८॥
