The demon capital was in a festive uproar, beautifully adorned with green decorations, flags, and pillars.

The gathered virtuous souls joyously exclaimed, "Victory to King Prahlada, the supreme ruler of the demon race, the foremost devotee of Lord Hari, the propounder of righteousness, victory!"
Then, gods and demons alike presented unparalleled gifts to King Prahlada. Acknowledging everything as the grace of Lord Hari, King Prahlada paid his respects to all the elders and revered ones, received their blessings, accorded honors according to their statuses, and distributed gifts.
