The prajāpatis offered their prayers as follows: O Supreme Lord, Lord of even Brahmā and Śiva, we, the prajāpatis, were created by You to execute Your orders, but we were forbidden by Hiraṇyakaśipu to create any more good progeny. Now the demon is lying dead before us, his chest pierced by You. Let us therefore offer our respectful obeisances unto You, whose incarnation in this form of pure goodness is meant for the welfare of the entire universe.

Translation
The Prajāpatis said: O Supreme Lord! We, the Prajāpatis, have been created by you. By piercing his chest you have killed this demon who forbade us to create progeny. O form of pure sattva! Your appearance is auspicious for the world. O Supreme Lord! The demon gave us the order not to create progeny (niṣiddhāḥ) O form of sattva! Your appearance is auspicious for the world.
