TRANSLATION

The son of Sukracarya, Hiranyakasipu’s spiritual master, said: O
enemy of King Indra, O King! Whatever your son Prahlada has
said was not taught to him by me or anyone else. His spontaneous
devotional service has naturally developed in him. Therefore,
please give up your anger and do not unnecessarily accuse us. It is
not good to insult a brahmana in this way.
