Translation

Wheresoever I go, Hiraṇyakaśipu will follow Me, as death follows all living entities. Therefore it is better for Me to enter the core of his heart, for then, because of his power to see only externally, he will not see Me.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Wherever I go, Hiraṇyakaśipu will follow me, just as death follows all living entities. Therefore I will enter the core of his heart, for then, because he can only see externally, he will not see me. Wherever I go, he will not leave me. Parāg-dṛśaḥ means he has vision which sees only enemies, or he can see only externally.
