Prahlāda Mahārāja's father: he was so proud, and he was confident, "Now I have taken benediction from Brahmā, I'll live forever." So he was very much proud. Just like the karmīs, they also think, "When there will be disease and there will be point of death, I shall take care very nicely. There are so many good physicians. I shall call them, and they will give me life." So this is demonic. You cannot protect yourself by so-called science, physician or power. It is not possible. Because the death is Kṛṣṇa.

He was dying at the age of fifty-four years, and he was crying, and he was requesting the doctor—he was very rich man—"My dear doctor, can you not give me at least four years' life so I could finish my program?"

Kṛṣṇa says, mṛtyur aham, sarva-haraś ca.
