|| 8.15.31 ||

eṣa vipra-balodarkaḥ

sampraty ūrjita-vikramaḥ

teṣām evāpamānena

sānubandho vinaṅkṣyati

Bali, by the result of the power of brāhmaṇas, had become powerful at this moment. When he later insults the brāhmaṇas, he will be vanquished along with his assistants.

“When and how will Bali be defeated?” This verse gives comfort to Indra. Udarka means the final result, according to Amara-koṣa.  When he offends them he will be vanquished. This is the normal viewpoint. However, because he had devotion to Viṣṇu, though he offended the brāhmaṇas, he obtained enjoyment greater than Svarga because he attained Sutala with Viṣṇu as his doorkeeper, and in a future Manvantara he would attain the position of Indra.

guruṇārthānudarśinā

hitvā tri-viṣṭapaṁ jagmur

gīrvāṇāḥ kāma-rūpiṇaḥ

|| 8.15.33 ||

deveṣv atha nilīneṣu

balir vairocanaḥ purīm

deva-dhānīm adhiṣṭhāya

vaśaṁ ninye jagat-trayam

When the devatās had disappeared, Bali, the son of Virocana, entered the heavenly kingdom, and from there he brought the three worlds under his control.

|| 8.15.34 ||

taṁ viśva-jayinaṁ śiṣyaṁ

bhṛgavaḥ śiṣya-vatsalāḥ

śatena hayamedhānām

anuvratam ayājayan

The brāhmaṇa descendants of Bhṛgu, very pleased with their disciple, who had conquered the entire universe, now engaged him in performing one hundred horse sacrifices.

They engaged him in sacrifices to make his position as Indra strong.
