“By dint of my severe austerities, I shall reverse the results of pious and impious activities. I shall overturn all the established practices within this world. Even Dhruvaloka will be vanquished at the end of the millennium. Therefore, what is the use of it? I shall prefer to remain in the position of Brahmā.”
Purport

Hiraṇyakaśipu’s demoniac determination was explained to Lord Brahmā by the demigods, who informed him that Hiraṇyakaśipu wanted to overturn all the established principles. After executing severe austerities, people within this material world are promoted to the heavenly planets, but Hiraṇyakaśipu wanted them to be unhappy, suffering because of the diplomatic feelings of the demigods, even in the heavenly planets. He wanted those who were harassed in this world by material transactions to be unhappy for the same reason, even in the heavenly planets. Indeed, he wanted to introduce such harassment everywhere. One might ask how this would be possible, since the universal order has been established since time immemorial, but Hiraṇyakaśipu was proud to declare that he would be able to do everything by the power of his tapasya. He even wanted to make the Vaiṣṇavas’ position insecure. These are some of the symptoms of asuric determination.

Translation
By dint of my severe austerities, I shall reverse the results of pious and impious activities. By my power, what was previously the rule will be opposite. What is the use of other places like Dhruvaloka, which will be destroyed by time at the end of the millennium? I will make the world opposite. Those who suffer by vows like celibacy and austerity will attain hell in the next life and will have to suffer. Those who are only absorbed in material enjoyment in this life will attain the enjoyment of Svarga in the next life. Material enjoyment will be the recommended piety and sādhana. Restricting enjoyment will be a sin and not recommended. This will be instituted. “But this has not happened in any previous lifetimes of Brahmās.” I will make previous rules just the opposite by my power. “Why do you consider Brahmā’s post that you cherish to be better than all others?” What is the use of other places like Dhruvaloka which are temporary? The demons will consider Dhruvaloka temporary.
