Nārada Muni continued: Lord Brahmā was very much satisfied by Hiraṇyakaśipu’s austerities, which were difficult to perform. Therefore, when solicited for benedictions, he indeed granted them, although they were rarely to be achieved.

Translation
Nārada said: Thus requested, Brahmā, pleased with Hiraṇyakaśipu's austerities, granted his wishes which were difficult to grant. The Fourth Chapter describes how Hiraṇyakaśipu, in hatred of Viṣṇu, defeated the devatās, and also describes Prahlāda’s qualities which arose from his prema-bhakti. Hiraṇyakaśipor should be hiraṇyakaśipunā and tasya should be tasmai.
