Seeing that great effort of Bali, Indra,
along with all the gods, said this to his
preceptor (Brihaspati) :
 
'भगवन्नुद्यमो भूयान् बलेर्नः पूर्ववैरिणः ।
अविषह्यतमं मन्ये केनासीत्तेजसोर्जितः ॥
 
"Blessed lord! great is this effort of
Bali, our old foe. I consider him
irresistible (now). How did he become
strong in prowess?"
 
गुरु:-
'जानामि मघवञ्छत्रोरुन्नतेरस्य कारणम् ।
शिष्यायोपभृतं तेजो भृगुभिर्ब्रह्मवादिभिः ।
 
The Preceptor:
 
"Indra ! I know the cause of the rise of
this enemy. The Bhrigus, the expounders
 
of the Godhead, have infused their
disciple with power.
 
भवद्विधो भवान्वाऽपि वर्जयित्वेश्वरं हरिम् ।
नास्य शक्तः पुरः स्थातुं कृतान्तस्य यथा जनाः ॥
 
" Neither one like you, nor even your-
self,-none except, Lord Hari can stand
before him, even as men cannot before
Death.
