TRANSLATION
Sri Narada Muni continued: After speaking these words to Hiranyakasipu, Lord Brahma, the original being of this universe, who is extremely powerful, sprinkled transcendental, infallible, spiritual water from his kamandalu upon Hiranyakasipus body, which had been eaten away by ants and moths. Thus he enlivened Hiranyakasipu.
PURPORT
Lord Brahma is the first created being within this universe and is empowered by the Supreme Lord top create. Tene brahma hrda ya adi-kavaye: the adi deva, or adi-kavithe first living creaturewas personally taught by the Supreme Personality of Godhead through the heart. There was no one to teach him, but since the Lord is situated within Brahmas heart, Brahma was educated by the Lord Himself. Lord Brahma, being especially empowered, is infallible in doing whatever he wants. This is the meaning of the word amogha radhasa. He desired to restore Hiranyakasipus original body, and therefore, by sprinkling transcendental water from his waterpot, he immediately did so.
