Translation

Now let me describe the sons of Diti, who were begotten by Kaśyapa but who became demons. In this demoniac family the great devotee Prahlāda Mahārāja appeared, and Bali Mahārāja also appeared in that family. The demons are technically known as Daityas because they proceeded from the womb of Diti.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

I will now describe the demon sons of Diti, who were begotten by Kaśyapa. In this demoniac family the great devotee Prahlāda Mahārāja and Bali Mahārāja also appeared. Here a new subject begins. Dāyadān means sons. Daiteyān means the sons of Diti.
