The time was (neither day nor night). The place was the threshold of the palace (neither inside nor outside). He placed the king on his own lap (neither ground nor sky). With his claws (no weapon), Narasimha disemboweled the demon king and draped his intestines like a garland. Then, the gods sent Prahlada
He struck the pillar with his mace.
Brahma refused. So the demon king crafted a cunning loophole: “Let me not die any dwelling or outside ; not during day or night ; not on ground or in sky ; not by any weapon or hand of man or beast; not by any god , demon , or living being created by you.” Brahma granted the boon.
