142 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 7, Ch. 3
daitya-isvara—of Hiranyakasipu, the King of the Daityas; dsramam—to
the place of austerity.
TRANSLATION
O King, being thus informed by the demigods, the most power-
ful Lord Brahma, accompanied by Bhrgu, Daksa and other great
sages, immediately started for the place where Hiranyakasipu was
performing his penances and austerities.
PURPORT
Lord Brahma was waiting for the austerities performed by
Hiranyakasipu to mature so that he could go there and offer benedictions
according to Hiranyakasipu’s desire. Now, taking the opportunity of
being accompanied by all the demigods and great saintly persons,
Brahma went there to award him the benediction he desired.
