Is there a Murli point to back up this assertion, was it said in Sakar Murli, Avyakt Vani or Murli clarification?
Hiranyakashyap is a demon king mentioned in the Hindu mythology, who is said to have performed tough penance and got a boon from God that he should neither be killed inside his house nor outside it; he should neither be killed in day nor night; he should neither be killed by a man nor a beast. After getting this boon he becomes egotistic and declares himself to be God thinking that he won't get killed ever. He starts atrocities on the pious people. But coincidentally, the child born to him grows up to be the devotee of Vishnu, considered to be the stauch enemy of demons. Hiranyakashyap creates a lot of obstacles for his son to divert him from Vishnu's Bhakti. He even tries to get him killed several times. But Vishnu saves the child.
Finally when the sins of the demon king reach the maximum extent, Vishnu himself incarnates in the form of Narsimha (half lion-half man) by emerging from a pillar in the Palace of Hiranyakashyap, takes Hiranyakashyap to the doorstep of the palace at the time when it is neither day nor night and kills him.
I am not aware if this assertion has been made in the Sakar Murlis or Avyakt Vanis, but it has definitely been mentioned in the Murli clarifications given by ShivBaba through Baba Virendra Dev Dixit. I will find out if any such point is available in the Sakar Murlis.
