Text 22] Bali Maharaja Surrenders His Life 179

TRANSLATION

Lord Brahma said: O well-wisher and master of all living en-
tities, O worshipable Deity of all the demigods, O all-pervading
Personality of Godhead, now this man has been sufficiently
punished, for You have taken everything. Now You can release
him. He does not deserve to be punished more.

PURPORT

When Lord Brahma saw that Prahlada Maharaja and Vindhyavali had
already approached the Lord to ask mercy for Bali Maharaja, he joined
them and recommended Bali Maharaja’s release on the grounds of
worldly calculations.
