TRANSLATION

Thereafter, on the day of soma-pana, after the sacrifice was
finished, Garuda, king of the birds, understanding the desire of
his master, arrested Bali Maharaja with the ropes of Varuna.

PURPORT

Garuda, the constant companion of the Supreme Personality of God-
head, knows the confidential part of the Lord’s desire. Bali Maharaja’s
tolerance and devotion were undoubtedly superexcellent. Garuda ar-
rested Bali Maharaja to show the entire universe the greatness of the
King’s tolerance.
