Who else, but that Great Soul can teach us (any thing)?" Hiranyakashipu said,—"O thou of vile understanding, who is this Vishnu, of whom thou art speaking again and again before me the valiant lord of the world?" Prahlāda said,—"He is Vishnu, the great God, who is being meditated upon by the devout, whose glory cannot be described in words, who is all things and from whom all things proceed". Hiranyakashipu said,—"O fool, myself living, to whom else you give the title of supreme lord?

In plain words: Prahlada asks who else could teach us but Vishnu. The furious king demands to know who this Vishnu is. Prahlada says Vishnu is the great God whom devoted people meditate on, whose glory words cannot describe, who is everything and from whom everything comes. The king shouts, "While I live, who else do you call supreme lord?"
