rajas-tamobhyāṁ rahite
yuvāṁ vāsaṁ na cārhathaḥ

pāda-mūle madhudviṣaḥ
pāpiṣṭhām āsurīṁ yoniṁ
bāliśau yātam āśv ataḥ
The four sages angrily cursed them. "O fools! You are unfit to live at the shelter of the Lord's lotus feet, which are free from tamas and rajas. Go immediately and take birth in a family of most sinful demons."
|| 7.1.39 ||
evaṁ śaptau sva-bhavanāt
patantau tau kṛpālubhiḥ
proktau punar janmabhir vāṁ
tribhir lokāya kalpatām

“You will be able to attain Vaikuṇṭha (lokāya kalpatām) after three births.”
|| 7.1.40 ||
jajñāte tau diteḥ putrau
daitya-dānava-vanditau
hiraṇyakaśipur jyeṣṭho
hiraṇyākṣo 'nujas tataḥ

|| 7.1.41 ||
hato hiraṇyakaśipur
hariṇā siṁha-rūpiṇā
hiraṇyākṣo dharoddhāre
bibhratā śaukaraṁ vapuḥ
Appearing as Nṛsiṁhadeva, the Supreme Lord killed Hiraṇyakaśipu. The Lord, taking the form of Varāha and lifting up the earth, killed Hiraṇyākṣa.
While lifting the earth (dharoddhāre), Varāha killed Hiraṇyākṣa.
|| 7.1.42 ||
hiraṇyakaśipuḥ putraṁ
prahlādaṁ keśava-priyam
jighāṁsur akaron nānā
yātanā mṛtyu-hetave

|| 7.1.43 ||
taṁ sarva-bhūtātma-bhūtaṁ
praśāntaṁ sama-darśanam
bhagavat-tejasā spṛṣṭaṁ
nāśaknod dhantum udyamaiḥ
In spite of his many attempts, Hiraṇyakaśipu was unable to kill Prahlāda, who was dear to all beings like one’s own self, who was peaceful, who saw all others’ happiness and distress as his won, and who was imbued with the Lord’s power.
Prahlāda was dear like one’s very self to all beings (sarva-bhūtātma-bhūtam). He was peaceful, because of having no hatred towards his father, who tried to kill him. He saw his and others’ happiness and distress equally.
