sri-bhagavan uvaca-the Supreme Personality of Godhead replied (to Brahma); ma-do not; evam-thus; vibho-O great person; asuranam-unto the demons; te-by you; pradeyah-bestow benedictions; padma-sambhava-O Lord Brahma, born from the lotus flower; varah-benediction; krura-nisarganam-persons who are by nature very cruel and jealous; ahinam-to snakes; amrtam-nectar or milk; yatha-just as.

TRANSLATION

The Personality of Godhead replied: My dear Lord Brahma, O great lord born from the lotus flower, just as it is dangerous to feed milk to a snake, so it is dangerous to give benedictions to demons, who are by nature ferocious and jealous. I warn you not to give such benedictions to any demon again.
