TRANSLATION

For that battle the most celebrated commander in chief,
Maharaja Bali, son of Virocana, was seated on a wonderful airplane
named Vaihayasa. O King, this beautifully decorated airplane had
been manufactured by the demon Maya and was equipped with
weapons for all types of combat. It was inconceivable and in-
describable. Indeed, it was sometimes visible and sometimes not.
Seated in this airplane under a beautiful protective umbrella and
being fanned by the best of cémaras, Maharaja Bali, surrounded by
his captains and commanders, appeared just like the moon rising
in the evening, illuminating all directions.
