This page needs fixing. The title is different to the name used in the opening paragraph. I.E. the title is "Yerrapragada" the opening sentence is confusing, "Errana was a great Telugu poet in the court of Prolaya Vemareddy (1325-1353)" Later in the same paragraph the author says "Errana was also known as Yellapregada or Errapregada." Maybe the title should be Errana? For someone who knows nothing about the subject line, the article is very confusing.

original sanskrit text (vishnupurana)

Refer the lines "Hiranyakasyapa had a son, Prahlada. Prahlada is a devote of Lord Vishnu and for that reason father and son didn't get along very well. Hiranyakasyapa tortured Prahlada for defying him. Prahlada ran away and took refuge in the northern kingdom of Lord Vishnu in the Ksheersagar. However, Hiranyakasyapa gave amnesty to Prahlada, later. Prahlada returned to the Bharatavarsha and served his father with love and affection. Soon after, Hiranyakasyapa was killed by a lion during a hunting expedition in the wild. Prahlada took over as the king of Bharatavarsha. Vishnupurana, the Sanskrit original, didn't describe how and why Lord Vishnu killed Hiranyakasyapa. However, Errana introduced Narasimha (lion-man), an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, as the killer of Hiranyakasyapa." Please refer Vishnu_Purana (wikipedia);it describes the hiranyakashipu's attainment of liberation through Narasimha avatar, contrary to what has been said above that it is not described in the sanskrit original.Even so in Bhagavata_Purana(wikipedia). clarification requested.
