1.17.45

hiraṇyakaśipur uvāca:
jvālyatām asurā vahnir apasarpata diggajāḥ
vāyo samedhayāgniṃ tvaṃ dahyatām eṣa pāpakṛt //

Then said the king to his attendants, "Dismiss the elephants, and let fire consume him; and do thou, deity of the winds, blow up the fire, that this wicked wretch may be consumed." And the Dánavas piled a mighty heap of wood around the prince, and kindled a fire, to burn him, as their master had commanded. But Prahláda cried, "Father, this fire, though blown up by the winds, burneth me not; and all around I behold the face of the skies, cool and fragrant, with beds of lotus flowers."
