TRANSLATION

My lord, our old enemy Bali Maharaja now has new enthusiasm,
and he has obtained such astonishing power that we think that
perhaps we cannot resist his prowess.

TRANSLATION

No one anywhere can counteract this military arrangement of
Bali’s. It now appears that Bali is trying to drink up the entire uni-
verse 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 sarnvartaka.
