O King, Prahlāda Mahārāja’s good qualities are still glorified by learned saints and Vaiṣṇavas. As all good qualities are always found existing in the Supreme Personality of Godhead, they also exist forever in His devotee Prahlāda Mahārāja.
Purport

From authoritative scripture it is learned that Prahlāda Mahārāja still lives in Vaikuṇṭhaloka as well as within this material world on the planet Sutala. This transcendental quality of existing simultaneously in different places is another qualification of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ: the Lord appears in the core of everyone’s heart, yet He exists on His own planet, Goloka Vṛndāvana. A devotee acquires qualities almost the same as those of the Lord because of unalloyed devotional service. Ordinary living beings cannot be so qualified, but a devotee can be qualified like the Supreme Personality of Godhead, not in full but partially.

Translation
O King! Prahlāda's good qualities are glorified by the wise. Just as all good qualities are always found in the Supreme Lord, they also exist even now without covering in Prahlāda. The great qualities of Lord such as forbearance and inscrutability are spiritual, and situated in him naturally. Those qualities are glorified by persons with discrimination (kavibhiḥ). These qualities are not fixed in the jīva, but are found in persons related to the Lord. Those qualities are perceived by the wise man’s purified senses starting with the mind. That is the meaning of saying that the qualities are glorified by the wise. Those qualities are explained to be eternal: these qualities have not been covered even now. Till this time they exist, uncovered by time or karma. Though all this time has passed, Prahlāda remains with those qualities, in Sutala, Vaikuṇṭha or Mahāvaikuṇṭha. That is the meaning.
