yathā tri-vargaṁ gurubhir ātmane upaśikṣitam na sādhu mene tac-chikṣāṁ dvandvārāmopavarṇitām
Synonyms
yathā — as; tri-vargam — the three processes (religion, economic development and sense gratification); gurubhiḥ — by the teachers; ātmane — unto himself (Prahlāda Mahārāja); upaśikṣitam — instructed; na — not; sādhu — really good; mene — he considered; tat-śikṣām — the education in that; dvandva-ārāma — by persons taking pleasure in duality (in material enmity and friendship); upavarṇitām — which is prescribed.

Translation

The teachers Ṣaṇḍa and Amarka instructed Prahlāda Mahārāja in the three kinds of material advancement called religion, economic development and sense gratification. Prahlāda, however, being situated above such instructions, did not like them, for such instructions are based on the duality of worldly affairs, which involve one in a materialistic way of life marked by birth, death, old age and disease.
