Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

When Mahabali, the grandson of Prahlada, used abusive
words against Sriman Narayana, Prahlada said the 
following: "Instead of abusing the Lord in front of
me, if you were to cut my head off, that would be the
great benefit you can do for me." Then, he cursed
Mahabali that he would lose his kingdom.

Nanjeeyar had a doubt about this that he asked 
Bhattar the following question. "For those who have
no attachment to things of this world, worldly wealth
is nothing. Prahlada is such a person. Then, why
would he consider the kingdom as something important
and curse Mahabali that he would lose it?"

Bhattar replied "To punish a dog, one would not remove
something lofty away from it. Instead one would prevent
it from eating the lowly thing that it likes. Similarly
to punish Mahabali, Prahlada cursed that he would lose
the kingdom that he loved so much".
