The Gandharvas, the Kimpurusas and the Kinnaras sounded
thousands and thousands of kettledrums and trumpets again and
again, and they sang in great jubilation, declaring, ‘‘How exalted a
person is Bali Maharaja, and what a difficult task he has per-
formed! Even though he knew that Lord Visnu was on the side of
his enemies, he nonetheless gave the Lord the entire three worlds
in charity.”
