This demon received from me the benediction that he would not be killed by any living being within my creation. Proud of his austerity, powers of yoga and strength, he destroyed the system set up by Vedas.

The Lord said: O powerful Brahmā born from the lotus! Just as it is dangerous to feed milk to a snake, so it is dangerous to give benedictions to demons, who are by nature cruel. Do not give them such benediction in the future.

vavande parameṣṭhinam
bhavaṁ prajāpatīn devān
prahrādo bhagavat-kalāḥ
Prahlāda, a portion of the Lord, then worshiped the Prajāpatis, Brahmā, and Śiva, and bowed down with his head.
