इन्द्रसेन महाराज याहि भो भद्रमस्तु ते ।
सुतलं स्वर्गिभिः प्रार्थ्य ज्ञातिभिः परिवारितः ।
रक्षिष्ये सर्वतोऽहं त्वां सदा मां द्रक्ष्यते भवान् ॥
 
"O great king Bali! let there be
welfare unto you; surrounded by your
relations, go to the Sutala region, prayed
for by the denizens of heaven. I shall
protect you from everything. You shall
be seeing Me for all time.
 
'वत्स प्रहलाद भद्रं ते प्रयाहि सुतलालयम् ।
मोदमानस्त्वपौत्रेण ज्ञातीनां सुखमावह ।
नित्यं द्रष्टासि मां तत्र गदापाणिमवस्थितम् ॥'
 
" Prahlada, my child ! Welfare unto
you. Go thou to the abode in the Sutala
and rejoicing (there) with your grandson.
bring happiness to your relations. You
shall see Me there for all time, standing
mace in hand."
