kalevaraṁ kāla-javena hitvā
kalevaraṁ kāla-javena hitvā
kīrtiṁ viśuddhāṁ sura-loka-gītāṁ
vitāya mām eṣyasi mukta-bandhaḥ
Having given up piety by enjoyment and sin by pious actions, and having giving up the previous body by the passing of time, having spread your pure glory praised even in Svarga, and being already free of bondage, you will come to me.
Do not be afraid of bondage by karma by enjoyment. In your previous birth all karmas were destroyed. By experience of enjoyment, the prārabdha puṇyas will be exhausted. By pious acts, prārabdha sins will be exhausted. Giving up your previous body, you attain me now. You are already liberated from bondage in this life. You are jīvanmukta. It should be understood that Prahlāda, like Nārada and others, was partly sādhana-siddha and partly nitya-siddha.

ya etat kīrtayen mahyaṁ
tvayā gītam idaṁ naraḥ
tvāṁ ca māṁ ca smaran kāle
karma-bandhāt pramucyate
And the person who always remembers your activities and my activities, and who chants the prayers you have offered to please me, becomes free from the bondage of karma in due course of time.
Not only you are free of bondage, but others who remember you become free of bondage as well. Please listen. Mahyaṁ tvayā gītam means the song you sung to please me.

śrī-prahrāda uvāca
varaṁ varaya etat te
varadeśān maheśvara
yad anindat pitā me
tvām avidvāṁs teja aiśvaram
viddhāmarṣāśayaḥ sākṣāt
sarva-loka-guruṁ prabhum
bhrātṛ-heti mṛṣā-dṛṣṭis
tvad-bhakte mayi cāghavān
tasmāt pitā me pūyeta
durantād dustarād aghāt
pūtas te 'pāṅga-saṁdṛṣṭas
tadā kṛpaṇa-vatsala
O bestower of blessings! O great Lord! Please grant this boon. My father, his heart filled with anger, out of ignorance of your power and glory, thinking that you killed his brother, criticized you, the guru of all the planets. He thus committed violence to me. May my father be purified! O Lord, affectionate to the wretched! He has been purified of his great sins, difficult to remove by your glance.
Previously I prayed at your lotus feet for the deliverance of all people suffering in this world. Now, if you have given such good fortune to me, then I pray also that you free one great sinner. This is expressed in three verses. My father’s heart was contaminated with anger (viddhāmarṣāśayaḥ). Even if he is already purified byyour glance, I pray out of humility to hear words of mercy from your mouth.
