SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM - Prabhupada

224 Srbnad-Bhigavabun [Canto 7, Ch. 5faithful to the camp of his father's enemies, Birat;tyaka8ipu, theKing of the demons, heard Prahlida's words and he laughinglysaid, "Thus is the intelligence of children spoiled by the words ofthe enemy."PURPORTHirayakasipu, being a demon, would always consider Lord Viu andHis devotees to be his enemies. Therefore the word para-paa ("on theside of the enemy") is used here. Hirayakasipu never agreed with thewords of ViQU, or Kra. Rather, he was angered by the intelligence of aVaiava. Lord ViQU, Lord Kra, says, saroa-dhannan parityajyamdm ekam sara1J.(Lril vraja -"Give up all other duties and surrenderunto Me" -but demons like HiraQyakasipu never agree to do this.Therefore KrQa says:na mdril dl.L$krtino m!Uj,hab,prapadyante naradhamab,mayayapahrta-jnanadsuraril bhavam asritab,"Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, lowest among mankind,whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the atheisticnature of demons, do not surrender unto Me." (Bg. 7.15) The asurabhava,the atheistic nature, is directly represented by HiraQyakasipu.Such persons, being m!Uj,ha and naradhama-fools and rascals, thelowest of men-would never accept ViQu as the Supreme and surrenderto Him. HiraQyakasipu naturally became increasingly angry that his sonPrahlada was being influenced by the camp of the enemies. He thereforeasked that saintly persons like Narada not be allowed within the residentialquarters of his son, for otherwise Prahlada would be further spoiledby V aiQava instructions.TEXT7 iflit ffiml: INq: ms firQ ?.11 II II
