[Canto 8, Ch. 15]
TRANSLATION
My lord, our old enemy Bali Mahārāja now has new enthusiasm, and he has obtained such astonishing power that we think that perhaps we cannot resist his prowess.
TEXT 26
नैनं कश्चित् कुतो वापि प्रतिन्योदुमधीश्वरः । पिबन्धिव मुखेनेदं लिहन्निव दिशो दश । दहन्निव दिशो दृग्गिः संवर्ताग्निरिवोत्थितः ॥२६॥

TRANSLATION
No one anywhere can counteract this military arrangement of Bali's. It now appears that Bali is trying to drink up the entire universe with his mouth, lick up the ten directions with his tongue, and raise fire in every direction with his eyes. Indeed, he has arisen like the annihilating fire known as  samvartaka .
