tasya - of him (HiraṇyakaÅ›ipu); daitya-pateḥ - the King of the Daityas; putrÄḥ - sons; catvÄraḥ - four; parama-adbhutÄḥ - very qualified and wonderful; prahrÄdaḥ - the one named PrahlÄda; abhÅ«t - was; mahÄn - the greatest; teá¹£Äm - of all of them; guṇaiḥ - with transcendental qualities; mahat-upÄsakaḥ - being an unalloyed devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
HiraṇyakaÅ›ipu had four wonderful, well-qualified sons, of whom the one named PrahlÄda was the best. Indeed, PrahlÄda was a reservoir of all transcendental qualities because he was an unalloyed devotee of the Personality of Godhead.

“In one who has unflinching devotional faith in Kṛṣṇa, all the good qualities of Kṛṣṇa and the demigods are consistently manifest.†(BhÄg. 5.18.12) PrahlÄda MahÄrÄja is praised herein for having all good qualities because of worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore, a pure devotee, who has no motives, has all good qualities, material and spiritual. If one is spiritually advanced, being a staunch, liberal devotee of the Lord, all good qualities are manifest in his body. On the other hand, harÄv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇÄḥ: if one is not a devotee, even if he has some materially good qualities, they have no value. That is the verdict of the Vedas.
