TEXT 16
श्रीप्रह्लाद उवाच
त्वयैव दत्तं पदमैन्द्रमूर्जितं 
  हृतं तदेवाद्य तथैव शोभनम् । 
  मन्ये महानस्य कृतो ह्यनुग्रहो 
  विभ्रंशितो यच्छ्रिय आत्ममोहनात् ॥ १६ ॥
śrī-prahrāda uvāca 
  tvayaiva dattaṁ padam aindram ūrjitaṁ 
  hṛtaṁ tad evādya tathaiva śobhanam 
  manye mahān asya kṛto hy anugraho 
  vibhraṁśito yac chriya ātma-mohanāt
śrī-prahrādaḥ uvāca—Prahlāda Mahārāja said; tvayā—by Your Lordship; eva—indeed; dattam—which had been given; padam—this position; aindram—of the King of heaven; ūrjitam—very, very great; hṛtam—has been taken away; tat—that; eva—indeed; adya—today; tathā—as; eva—indeed; śobhanam—beautiful; manye—I consider; mahān—very great; asya—of him (Bali Mahārāja); kṛtaḥ—has been done by You; hi—indeed; anugrahaḥ—mercy; vibhraṁśitaḥ—being bereft of; yat—because; śriyaḥ—from that opulence; ātma-mohanāt—which was covering the process of self-realization.
TRANSLATION
Prahlāda Mahārāja said: My Lord, it is Your Lordship who gave this Bali the very great opulence of the post of heavenly king, and now, today, it is You who have taken it all away. I think You have acted with equal beauty in both ways. Because his exalted position as King of heaven was putting him in the darkness of ignorance, You have done him a very merciful favor by taking away all his opulence.
PURPORT
As it is said,  yasyāham anugṛhṇāmi hariṣye tad-dhanaṁ śanaiḥ  ( Bhāg.  10.88.8). It is by the mercy of the Lord that one gets all material
