Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 7 - Chapter 1 - Verse 29-30


Sanskrit:

श्रीदैत्यपुत्रा ऊचु:प्रह्राद त्वं वयं चापि नर्तेऽन्यं विद्महे गुरुम् ।एताभ्यां गुरुपुत्राभ्यां बालानामपि हीश्वरौ ॥ २९ ॥बालस्यान्त:पुरस्थस्य महत्सङ्गो दुरन्वय: ।छिन्धि न: संशयं सौम्य स्याच्चेद्विस्रम्भकारणम् ॥ ३० ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-daitya-putrā ūcuḥprahrāda tvaṁ vayaṁ cāpinarte ’nyaṁ vidmahe gurumetābhyāṁ guru-putrābhyāṁbālānām api hīśvarau

Translation:

The sons of the demons replied: Dear Prahlāda, neither you nor we know any teacher or spiritual master other than Ṣaṇḍa and Amarka, the sons of Śukrācārya. After all, we are children and they our controllers. For you especially, who always remain within the palace, it is very difficult to associate with a great personality. Dear friend, most gentle one, would you kindly explain how it was possible for you to hear Nārada? Kindly dispel our doubts in this regard.
