I can see that this boy’s strength is unlimited, for he has not feared any of my punishments. He appears immortal. Therefore, because of my enmity toward him, I shall die. Or maybe this will not take place.

Hiraṇyakaśipu admits the boy's strength is unlimited and seems immortal. He concludes: I shall die because of my enmity toward him — or maybe not. Demonic clarity sometimes flickers into truth and then quickly dims again.
