TRANSLATION

O King, because of Vamanadeva’s bright effulgence, the priests,
along with Bali Maharaja 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-kumara or the fire-god had
personally come to see the sacrificial ceremony.
