Sireeyade was a very devout woman from the potter community. She lived in the time of Hirnakush. Hirnakush had a boon from god that made him invincible. He could not be killed by any weapon or poison, he would neither die in the day nor night. As a result he became so proud that he wanted his entire kingdom to chant his name instead of lord Ram. Sireeyade was a Ram devotee. Once when the kiln was lit she realized that there were some kittens hiding in one of the pots that were being baked. She knew that if she chanted the name of Hrinakush there was no chance of the kittens coming out alive. So she and her husband Udan de began to chant Ram’s name. Prahlad the son of Hrinakush was passing by and he wondered why someone was chanting Ram’s name and not that of his father. He stopped by and asked Sireeyade why she was not chanting his father’s name. She told him she had immense faith in Ram. She planted two saplings of Tulsi, one in the name of Hrinakush and one in the name of Ram. And the one with Hrinakush had withered away whereas the one with Ram’s name had blossomed and grown. Prahlad asked her how many days were the kittens inside the oven. She told him it had already been three days. Finally when the oven cooled and the pots were baked the kittens jumped out of the pots as if nothing had ever happened. When Prahlad saw this he was so impressed that he too began to chant the name of Ram. When the king found that his own son was not chanting his name he ordered him to jump off a wall. He did that and was unhurt. Then he asked him to hug a hot iron pillar to see how Ram would save him. He was a little shaken but then he saw a little ant walking on the burning pole so he took this as a sign from God and hugged the pillar and was unscathed. The King was furious and then asked his son to sit on a pile of burning wood with his sister Hodka who had the boon of bathing with fire. She could not burn unless she touched a man. She came in contact with Prahlad and was burnt immediately. Prahlad was treated very poorly by his father. He pleaded with god calling on him to come to save him. Then god took the form of a demon and killed Hrinakush in the evening hours with his nails. That was the end of Hrinakush and Sireeyade became immortal because she popularised the name of Ram.
