If anyone would be found worshipping Vishnu, he would be punished. There should not be the idol of Vishnu in any Temple. There should be an idol of only mine.
He frightened all the people and they were compelled to obey his announcement. But his own son Prehlad didn't obey his announcement. He was only the devotee of Lord Vishnu. But Harinaykashyap didn't like all this and threatened him many times for not doing worship of Lord Vishnu.
