Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.4.5:

यया स्व-पित्रा विहिताः सहस्रम् उपद्रवा दारुण-विघ्न-रूपाः ।
जितास् त्वया यस्य तवानुभावात् सर्वेऽभवन् भागवता हि दैत्याः ॥ ५ ॥

yayā sva-pitrā vihitāḥ sahasram upadravā dāruṇa-vighna-rūpāḥ |
jitās tvayā yasya tavānubhāvāt sarve'bhavan bhāgavatā hi daityāḥ || 5 ||

O Prahlāda, your father planned many disturbances to your bhakti with thousands of dreadful obstacles. However, by the power of bhakti you conquered over those disturbances with no loss or diminution to you. Rather, all those intrusive demons became highclass devotees of Bhagavān by your influence.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Because of that bhakti, your father Hiraṇyakaśipu planned thousands of intrusive disturbances to you.

As it is said in the Seventh Canto ( Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam or Bhāgavata Purāṇa 7.5.42-43 and part of 44):

प्रयासेऽपहते तस्मिन् दैत्येन्द्रः परिशङ्कितः
चकार तद्-वधोपायान् निर्बन्धेन युधिष्ठिर
दिग्-गजैर् दन्दशुकेन्द्रैर् अभिचारावपातनैः
मयभिः सन्निरोधैश् च गर-दानैर् अभोजनैः
हिम-वाय्व्-अग्नि-सलिलैः पर्वताक्रमणैर् अपि

prayāse'pahate tasmin daityendraḥ pariśaṅkitaḥ
cakāra tad-vadhopāyān nirbandhena yudhiṣṭhira
dig-gajair dandaśukendrair abhicārāvapātanaiḥ
mayabhiḥ sannirodhaiś ca gara-dānair abhojanaiḥ
hima-vāyv-agni-salilaiḥ parvatākramaṇair api

After many various futile efforts by the demons, fearful doubts came into the mind of Hiraṇyakaśipu; therefore, with great obstinacy he began inventing ways of killing Śrī Prahlāda. Among all the devious ways, he tried having him trampled on by a humungous, maddened elephant, bitten by venomous snakes, conjuring up fierce mantras and tantras by the demons, hurling him from a mountain, administering poison, starving him to death, exposing him to severe cold, winds, water and fire and crushing him beneath heavy stones.

What was the nature of all these obstacles? Despite all the difficulties appearing severely terrible, intolerable and dreadful to others, you triumphed over the obstacles by your bhakti. Due to the power of hari-bhakti, the difficulties could not have any reversals for you. What more can be said when, by your counsel, all the demons became high-class devotees by your touch and darśana.

In the Śrī Hari-bhakti-sudhodaya and Nāradīya Purāṇa, Śrī Dharaṇīdevī, Mother Earth, exclaims:

अहो कृतार्थः सुतरां नृ-लोको यस्मिन् स्थितो भागवतोत्तमो’स्ति
स्पृशन्ति पश्यन्ति च ये भवन्तं भवांश् च यांस् ते हरि-लोक-भाजः

aho kṛtārthaḥ sutarāṃ nṛ-loko yasmin sthito bhāgavatottamo’sti
spṛśanti paśyanti ca ye bhavantaṃ bhavāṃś ca yāṃs te hari-loka-bhājaḥ

“O son, today this earthly planet is successful because a topmost bhāgavata like yourself resides here, and by such activities as your darśana, your touch and so forth, everyone becomes eligible for residence in the realm of Śrī Hari.”
