śrī-bhagavān uvāca - the Supreme Personality of Godhead replied (to Brahmā); mā - do not; evam - thus; vibho - O great person; asurāṇām - unto the demons; te - by you; pradeyaḥ - bestow benedictions; padma-sambhava - O Lord Brahmā, born from the lotus flower; varaḥ - benediction; krūra-nisargāṇām - persons who are by nature very cruel and jealous; ahīnām - to snakes; amṛtam - nectar or milk; yathā - just as.

The Personality of Godhead replied: My dear Lord Brahmā, O great lord born from the lotus flower, just as it is dangerous to feed milk to a snake, so it is dangerous to give benedictions to demons, who are by nature ferocious and jealous. I warn you not to give such benedictions to any demon again.
