Translation
And I am Prahlâda of Daityas; of calculators Time am I; and of wild beasts I the imperial beast; and Vainateya of birds.

Explanation
Prahlada among the Daityas is a pointed choice — a demon’s son who became Vishnu’s devotee against his own father’s will, named here as Krishna’s chosen representative among the demon class. It’s a claim that devotion transcends birth, not just an entry in a roster of raw power like the lion and Garuda that follow in the same verse.
