Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 7, Ch. 3]
daitya-īśvara —of Hiraṇyakaśipu, the King of the Daityas;  āśramam —to the place of austerity.
TRANSLATION
O King, being thus informed by the demigods, the most powerful Lord Brahmā, accompanied by Bhṛgu, Dakṣa and other great sages, immediately started for the place where Hiraṇyakaśipu was performing his penances and austerities.
PURPORT
Lord Brahmā was waiting for the austerities performed by Hiraṇyakaśipu to mature so that he could go there and offer benedictions according to Hiraṇyakaśipu's desire. Now, taking the opportunity of being accompanied by all the demigods and great saintly persons, Brahmā went there to award him the benediction he desired.
