Having their understandings overcome by ignorance, all creatures used to flatter me, saying,-Salutations to that cardinal point where Virochana's son Vali may now be living, O husband of Sachi, I do not at all grieve when I think of that honour. I am not sorry for this fall of mine. My understanding is very strong here, viz., that I will abide by the sway of the Ordainer.
नमस्तस्यै दिशेऽप्यस्तु यस्यां वैरोचनो बलिः इति मामभ्यपद्यन्त बुद्धिमात्सर्यमोहिताः॥ । नाहं तदनुशोचामि नात्मभ्रंशं शचीपते। एवं मे निश्चिता बुद्धिः शास्तुस्तिष्ठाम्यहं वशे॥
