Dear Srinath,

The lord did not give prahlada  moksha, bcoz he wanted
to set prahlada as an example to other asuras, he
wanted the other asuras also to follow the path of
devotion and get their life enhanced, ( here the lord
clearly shows his karuna bhavam towards the other
ignorant asura's).

Thanks 
Sridhar.S
