Therefore, never speak an untruth for the sake of land.” Prahlada said, “Angiras is superior to myself, and Sudhanwan is superior to thee, O Virochana. Mother also of Sudhanwan is superior to thy mother; therefore, thou, O Virochana, hath been defeated by Sudhanwan. This Sudhanwan is now the master of thy life. But, O Sudhanwan, I wish that thou shouldst grant Virochana his life.”

In plain words: Sudhanwan ends by saying never lie for the sake of land. Prahlada then judges honestly against his own son. He says Sudhanwan's father Angiras is greater than himself, and Sudhanwan and his mother are greater than Virochana and his mother. So Virochana has lost, and his life belongs to Sudhanwan. But Prahlada asks Sudhanwan to spare him.
