Now let me describe the sons of Diti, who were begotten by Kaśyapa but who became demons. In this demoniac family the great devotee Prahlāda Mahārāja appeared, and Bali Mahārāja also appeared in that family. The demons are technically known as Daityas because they proceeded from the womb of Diti.

Translation
I will now describe the demon sons of Diti, who were begotten by Kaśyapa. In this demoniac family the great devotee Prahlāda Mahārāja and Bali Mahārāja also appeared.
Here a new subject begins. Dāyadān means sons. Daiteyān means the sons of Diti.

Personal Guidance
Now let me describe Diti's sons, begotten by Kaśyapa, who became demons — yet Prahlāda and Bali appeared in this family. Even the demoniac line produces great devotees.
Reflection Questions
- Where do I dismiss a lineage entirely because of its average tendency?
- Whose Prahlāda or Bali might be waiting inside an unwelcomed family?
