disregarded, transgressed.
This demon, Hiraṇyakaśipu, received from me the benediction that he would not be killed by any living being within my creation. With this assurance and with strength derived from austerities and mystic power, he became excessively proud and transgressed all the Vedic injunctions.

Translation
This demon received from me the benediction that he would not be killed by any living being within my creation. Proud of his austerity, powers of yoga and strength, he destroyed the system set up by the Vedas.

Personal Guidance
Brahmā admits: I gave him the benediction; with austerity and mystic power, he became excessively proud and transgressed all Vedic injunctions. Even Brahmā's benedictions can produce monsters in the wrong heart. Be honest about which of your gifts produced bad fruit.
Reflection Questions
- Which 'benediction' you gave someone produced a result you regret?
- How do you take responsibility for the consequences of your own generosity?
