PURPORT

As pointed out by Śrīla Prabhupāda in his purports to Chapter Two, Texts 5 and 8, of this canto, Marīci's sons were condemned for their offense against Lord Brahmā, and in addition Hiraṇyakaśipu once cursed them to be killed by their own father in a future life. This curse was fulfilled by Vasudeva's letting Kaḿsa murder them one by one.
