Translation
Desiring to kill his son Prahlāda, who was a great devotee of Lord Viṣṇu, Hiraṇyakaśipu tortured him in many ways to kill him.
Personal Guidance
Hiraṇyakaśipu's love for his son Prahlāda turned into murderous hatred because of Prahlāda's devotion. Worldly bonds — even parental love — can flip into violence when devotion threatens the ego's project. Be ready for opposition from the most intimate quarters.
Reflection Questions

- How do you stay loving toward those whose love for you has become conditional?
