दैत्यानाम् [daityAnAm] Among the demons, प्रह्लादः अस्मि [prahlAdaH asmi] I am Prahlada, the friendly boy. कलयताम् [kalayatAm] To the calculative people who bring about destruction, कालः अहम् [kAlaH aham] I am death. मृगाणाम् [mRgANAm] Among animals, मृगेन्द्रः अहम् [mRgendraH aham] I am their leader. पक्षिणाम् [pakSiNAm] Among birds, वैनतेयः च [vainateyaH ca] I am Garuda, their chief.

In the midst of calculative people who inspire destruction, I am death.

The Lord is the pervasive essence that inspires.

The Lord is a leader who inspires discipline and order. As Pralhad, the friendly boy who destroys wickedness in demons, as the destroyer of destroyers and as a leader who keeps his followers in check, The Lord inspires.
