Sin of Indra

"Viswaroopa the son of Thwashta was recruited as the ‘guru’(priest) fore the gods in place of Bruhaspathi, when Bruhaspathi was hidden himself because of the insult made by the Indra. Viswaroopa was killed by Indra in a cheating war, then the Indra was attacked by the Brahma-hathya Dosha’. 

So now indra was suffering from the ‘brahma-hathya Dosha’. After some time he asks Bruhaspathi for solution, then Bruhaspathi said ‘if there is any body to share that, then you’ll be relieved and you should give some boons to the person’ 

The following shared the Brahma-hathya Dosha of indra in the following manner. 
  1. Earth  (prithvy) shared the sin and releases the sin in the form of “fuller’s earth (choudu mritthika)” and got the boon that the earth will be filled or become closed even after the excavations. 
  2. Trees (vriksha) shared the sin and releases the sin in the form of ‘gum’ and got the boon that they can grow even they cut. 
  3. Sea(samudra)  shared the sin and released the sin in the form of ‘foam/froth’ and got the boon the at the sea cannot cross the sea shore (generally, not in some cases). 
  4. Ladies (sthree) shared the sin and releases the sin in the form of ‘menstruation’ every month and got the boon that they can give birth to children from menstruation. "

Prahlad

Sukhracharya's two sons had been appointed to teach the boys of the royal family. Staying at a place closer to the royal palace, these two brothers taught the boys in politics, economics etc. Prahlada too was sent to them for formal education. There he used to listen to his teachers carefully and recite what he had been taught.

But Prahlada did not like the education, which was based on falsehood. One day Hiranykashipu took Prahlada in his lap and asked lovingly: 'My son, tell me, what you like the most.' Prahlada said: 'Father, in my opinion, this world is nothing but full of sorrow. Hence it is just for every being that they should give up this blind-pit like world and go to the forests and take shelter in God, to be free of miseries.' Alarmed by these words, Hiranykashipu warned the teachers, the sons of Shukracharya, to look after Prahlada well, and to remove that mean thoughts of devotion from his mind. He also cautioned the teachers to guard Prahlada against any possible approach by a god, ascetic or Brahmin. Guruputras (the teacher of Prahlada) tried their best and trained Prahlada in policies of Sama, Dama, Dand, Bhed (conviction, temptation, fear of punishment and partiality.) Then they trained him in Arth, Dharma and Kama (economic matters, religion and carnal knowledge.) When they felt satisfied with their efforts the Guruputras brought Prahald again to his father, the demon king Miranykasipu.
Hiranykashipu kissed Prahlada's head and took him in his lap and asked, "My son Prahlada, tell me in detail what you have learned from your teacher during your stay with them." Prahlada said, "Father there are nine kinds of devotion for Lord Vishnu. If one develops these nine kinds of devotion with dedication, I understand, it would be the best education." Infuriated by these words, Hiranykashipu threw Prahlada on the floor and began to scoff at Guruputras. Hearing his father scoffing at Guruputras, Prahlada said, "Father it was not taught to me by them, it is my natural inclination." These words further infuriated Hiranykashipu. Blinded by anger he ordered his soldiers to kill Prahlada at once. Formidable demons hit Prahlada with their arms. At that time Prahlada's conscience was focused in God. All the blows of the demons yielded no result. Thereafter, Prahlada was trampled by intoxicated elephants, bitten by poisonous snakes thrown from the high cliffs into the sea and even in fire, buried under the mountain but all in vain. None of the attempts could do any harm to the sinless Prahlada.

Now, Hirankashipu began to feel worried because of his inability. Seeing him worried the teacher assured him, "Be free of worries, O king. Keep your son tied in Varunapash (the noose of Varuna) until our father Shukracharya returns." Then they again took Prahlada to their hermitage to teach him Grihasthdharm (duties of a married man). One day the teachers were away for some urgent work. Prahlada called his classmates and began to preach them about Lord Vishnu.

Hiranyakashipu

Hiranyakship doing penance to please Brahama. Suryadev tries to disrupt it. Shukracharya creates a curtain of smoke with his super-natural powers. The smoke covers the sun and Hiranyakaship does not feel the heat and is able to continue his penance.

Note

This Trishati could also be chanted by samyojana with Lalitha Trishati and wonderful results are found.

http://shankarapath.blogspot.com/2015/05/lalita-trishati.html

This Trishati is very useful for the devotees who cannot chant the Rudra Trishati Namavalih as it has vedic svarAs.

http://rudrakshainformation.blogspot.com/search/label/Trishati

So, this Siva Namavalih is a good substitute for Rudra Trishati and can be used for Ntiya Siva Puja.
