गुरुणा भर्त्सितः शप्तो जहौ सत्यं न सुव्रतः । छलैरुक्तो मया धर्मो नायं त्यजति सत्यवाक् ॥ ८-२२-३० ॥
Bali Mahārāja, being fixed in his vow, did not give up his truthfulness. It was certainly with pretension that I spoke about religious principles, but he did not give up religious principles, for he is true to his word. ॥ 8-22-30 ॥
english translation
किन्तु वे अपने व्रत में अटल रहे। उन्होंने अपना सत्य नहीं छोड़ा। मैंने तो निश्चित रूप से छल से धर्म के विषय में बातें कहीं, किन्तु उन्होंने अपना धर्म नहीं छोड़ा क्योंकि वे अपने वचन के पक्के हैं। ॥ ८-२२-३० ॥
