sanskrit

“Our lord, Bali Mahārāja, is always fixed in truthfulness, and this is especially so at present, since he has been initiated into performing a sacrifice. He is always kind and merciful toward the brāhmaṇas, and he cannot at any time speak lies. ।। 8-21-12 ।‌।

english translation

हमारे स्वामी बलि महाराज सदैव सत्य पर दृढ़ रहते हैं और इस समय तो विशेष रूप से क्योंकि उन्हें यज्ञ करने के लिए दीक्षा दी गई है। वे ब्राह्मणों के प्रति सदैव दयालु तथा सदय रहते हैं और कभी भी झूठ नहीं बोल सकते। ।। ८-२१-१२ ।।
