PURPORT

In regard to the word jitah, Srila Madhva Muni gives the following quotation from the Sabda-nirnaya: parabhutam vasa-stham ca jitabhid ucyate budhaih. "If one comes under someone else's control or is defeated by another, he is called jitah." Hiranyakasipu's austerity was so great and wonderful that even Lord Brahma agreed to be conquered by him.
