बाणः पुत्रशतज्येष्ठो बलेरासीन्महात्मनः ।
शोणिताख्ये पुरे रम्ये स राज्यमकरोत् पुरा ॥
 
There was Bana, the eldest of the
hundred sons of the great Bali.* In olden
times, that Bana was ruling from the
beautiful city named Sonita.
 
सहस्रबाहुर्वाद्येन ताण्डवेऽतोषयन्मृडम् ।
वरेण च्छन्दयामास स तं वत्रे पुराधिपम् ॥
 
With his thousand hands, Bana pleased
Siva by providing instrumental music for
His dance, and Siva persuaded him to
accept a boon. Bana asked Him to be the
guardian of his city.
 
तस्योषा नाम दुहिता स्वप्ने प्राद्यम्निना रतिम् ।
कन्याऽलभत कान्तेन प्रागदृष्टश्रुतेन सा ॥
