Text 35] Bali Maharaja Surrenders His Life 191

PURPORT

Bali Maharaja was transferred from the heavenly planet to the planet
Sutala, which is hundreds of times better than heaven, as indicated by
the words svargibhih prarthyam. When the Supreme Personality of God-
head deprives His devotee of material opulences, this does not mean that
the Lord puts him into poverty; rather, the Lord promotes him to a
higher position. The Supreme Personality of Godhead did not ask Bali
Maharaja to separate from his family; instead, the Lord allowed him to
stay with his family members (jratibhih parivaritah).
