dressed in yellow garments; afjana-tvisam—with his body resembling
black ointment for the eyes; pralamba-bihum—very long arms;
subhaga-rsabham—the best of all auspicious persons; aiksata—he saw.

TRANSLATION

Then Bali Maharaja saw his grandfather Prahlada Maharaja, the
most fortunate personality, whose dark body resembled black
ointment for the eyes. His tall, elegant figure was dressed in yellow
garments, he had long arms, and his beautiful eyes were like the
petals of a lotus. He was very dear and pleasing to everyone.
