Verse 5.38.18

विना प्रह्लादमथ चेदितरं दानवेश्वरम् ।
करोमि तदसौ मन्ये देवानासादयिष्यति ॥ १८ ॥

vinā prahlādamatha ceditaraṃ dānaveśvaram |
karomi tadasau manye devānāsādayiṣyati || 18 ||

If I raise any other Daitya to the chieftainship of the demons, and leave Prahlada in the act of his meditation; it is sure that he will disturb the Devas, instead of bearing obedience to them. Because no demon can get rid of his demoniac nature like Prahlada.
