Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 8, Ch. 18]
सूर्यः किलायात्युत वा विमात्रमुः सनत्कुमारोऽय दिद्दक्षया क्रतोः ॥२२॥
te ṛtvijo yajamānaḥ sadasyā hata-tviṣo vāmana-tejasā nṛpa sūryaḥ kilāyāty uta vā vibhāvasuḥ sanat-kumāro 'tha didṛkṣayā kratoḥ
te —all of them;  ṛtvijaḥ —the priests;  yajamānaḥ —as well as Bali Mahārāja, who had engaged them in performing the  yajña ;  sadasyāḥ —all the members of the assembly;  hata-tviṣaḥ —decreased in their bodily effulgence;  vāmana-tejasā —by the brilliant effulgence of Lord Vāmana;  nṛpa —O King;  sūryaḥ —the sun;  kila —whether;  āyāti —is coming;  uta vā —either;  vibhāvasuḥ —the fire-god;  sanat-kumāraḥ —the Kumāra known as Sanat-kumāra;  atha —either;  didṛkṣayā —with a desire to observe;  kratoḥ —the sacrificial ceremony.
TRANSLATION
O King, because of Vāmanadeva's bright effulgence, the priests, along with Bali Mahārāja and all the members of the assembly, were robbed of their splendor. Thus they began to ask one another whether the sun-god himself, Sanat-kumāra or the fire-god had personally come to see the sacrificial ceremony.
