15. Hiranyaaksh
Hiranyaaksh was the
younger brother of Hiranyakashyap, the father of Prahlaad. Both were the
sons of Kashyap Jee and his wife Diti. He was very brave and mighty. When
Vishnu was taking out the Earth sunk in the sea assuming the form of a
Varaah (wild Boar), he came to fight with Him. Varaah killed him hitting him
with His mouth.
