TRANSLATION

When Sanda and Amarka, the sons of Sukracarya, observed that
all the students, the sons of the demons, were becoming advanced
in Krsna consciousness because of the association of Prahlada
Maharaja, they were afraid. They approached the King of the
demons and described the situation as it was.

PURPORT

The words buddhim ekdnta-samsthitam indicate that as an effect of
Prahlada Mahardaja’s preaching, the students who listened to him became
fixed in the conclusion that Krsna consciousness is the only object of
human life. The fact is that anyone who associates with a pure devotee
and follows his instructions becomes fixed in Krsna consciousness and is
not disturbed by materialistic consciousness. The teachers particularly
observed this in their students, and therefore they were afraid because
the whole community of students was gradually becoming Krsna con-
scious.
