Prapautra (प्रपौत्र) refers to “great-grandson”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Bhārgava narrated to Jalandhara the details regarding the headless Rāhu: “O Jalandhara, O great hero, O benefactor of the Asuras, listen to the account. I shall relate everything exactly as it had happened. Once there was a strong hero Bali, the son of Virocana and great-grandson (prapautra) of Hiraṇyakaśipu. He was foremost among the virtuous. The gods including Indra being defeated by him sought refuge in Viṣṇu. Eager to gain their ends they told him all details. [...]”.
