If one performs austerity,  penance, and undergoes learning, one will aquire a result whether one is a devotee or a demon , the universal order is neutral and obliged to act in reciprocity ways .

It’s how the results of sacrifice are used that is important , they can greatly help one in a progressive path of consciousness elevation , or they can greatly hinder one .Likewise, the earthly histories are full of battles between good and bad because the bad can aquire great powers, and Divinity is obliged to both in one sense.

Lord Nrsingadeva appeared in Vedic texts , but He had to appear in a certain form at a certain time and deal with a demon in a certain way .

He upholds the universal laws and the set rules of results of austerity and sacrifice, and He also  upholds the judgement of the Devas who award benedictions.

But the Lord, being the most intelligent, has ways and means of balancing everything out  nicely and ultimately its the Lords responsibility to ensure the Ultimate Dharma is always carried out , ie . The ultimate good . He does this not only on His own account but because His compassionate devotees wish the greatest good to those who regard them their greatest enemy.

Pralada Maharaja is the great well wisher of all , like His Lord and master who awarded motherhood in the spiritual realms to a demoness who came to try to kill Him dressed as a nursing mother .
