Prahlad
Hiranyakashipu consumed saligram mixed water stored in Shukracharya's Pot to quench thirst and Prahlad was born
Rituals after death
Due to the effect of karma, a man falls sick causing his death. The mode of one’s death also depends upon one’s karma. When a man is dead, his body should be kept on the ground after purificatory rituals. Salagrama (sacred stone) should be placed near the body and Tulasi leaves (basil) should be placed in both the hands of the body and also on its neck.
