I consider everything bearable except
the man of faleshoods. I do not fear hell
so much as deceiving a Brahmin."
 
एवं सत्यान्न चलितो वामनाय ददौ मुदा ॥
 
Not swerving from truthfulness in this
manner, Bali gladly made the gift to
Vamana.
 
SRIMAD BHAGAVATA
 
तामनं रूपमवर्धताद्भुतं
काये बलिस्तस्य ददर्श विश्वम् ।
भूतेन्द्रियार्थाशयजीवयुक्तं
 
रराज [राजन् ] भगवानुरुक्रमः ॥
 
That dwarf-form grew wonderfully. In
that body of the Lord, Bali saw the
(whole) universe with its beings, their
faculties, the objects of the senses, minds
and individual souls. The Lord of huge
strides shone.
 
क्षितिं पदैकेन बलेविंचक्रमे
नभः शरीरेण दिशश्च बाहुभिः ।
पदं द्वितीयं क्रमतस्त्रिविष्टपं
 
न वै तृतीयाय तदीयमण्वपि ॥
