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. ।। 7-4-1 ।।

नारद मुनि ने कहा : ब्रह्माजी हिरण्यकशिपु की दुष्कर तपस्या से अत्यन्त प्रसन्न थे। अतएव जब उसने उनसे वर माँगे तो उन्होंने निस्सन्देह वे दुर्लभ वर प्रदान कर दिये। ।। ७-४-१ ।।
