Laxmi blesses Prahlada when He blesses Indra
http://laxmivishnu.blogspot.com/search/label/Laxmi%20blesses%20Prahlada
Prahlada taught Indra the rules of good conduct. (Chapter 124 Santi Parva).
Usanas to Prahlada on Animosities
Usanas himself sang two verses unto Prahlad in days of old.
He who trusts the words, true or false, of a foe, meets with destruction like a seeker of honey, in a pit covered with dry grass. Animosities are seen to survive the very death of enemies, for persons would speak of the previous quarrels of their deceased sires before their surviving children.
Kings extinguish animosities by having recourse to conciliation but, when the opportunity comes, break their foes into pieces like earthen jars full of water dashed upon stone. If the king does injury to any one, he should never trust him again. By trusting a person who has been injured, one has to suffer great misery.
(Chapter 139, Santi Parva Mahbharatha)
