Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 50

Sanskrit:

इत एतान् प्रणेष्यामो मातृशोकापनुत्तये ।तत: शापाद् विनिर्मुक्ता लोकं यास्यन्ति विज्वरा: ॥ ५० ॥

ITRANS:

ita etān praṇeṣyāmomātṛ-śokāpanuttayetataḥ śāpād vinirmaktālokaṁ yāsyanti vijvarāḥ

Translation:

We wish to take them from this place to dispel their mother’s sorrow. Then, released from their curse and free from all suffering, they will return to their home in heaven.

Purport:

As pointed out by Śrīla Prabhupāda in his purports to Chapter Two, texts 5 and 8, of this canto, Marīci’s sons were condemned for their offense against Lord Brahmā, and in addition Hiraṇyakaśipu once cursed them to be killed by their own father in a future life. This curse was fulfilled by Vasudeva’s letting Kaṁsa murder them one by one.
