Hearing the words of Rāvaņa Bali said, "He is the lord Hari, Nārāyana the protector of the three worlds. He is Ananta,' Kapila-Jisnu' and the highly effulgent Manlion. He is Kratudhămas Sudhāman and has the dreadful mace in his hand. He is like to the twelve Adityas, Purāna and the excellent Puruşa; he is like to the red clouds, the lord of gods and the best god. 1. Lit, etermal endless. Here it is the name of Visnu. 2. A celebrated Muni or saint, the founder of the Sāṁkhya system of philosophy; the son of Kardama by Devahuti and according to some an incarnation of Visnu. 3. Lit-victorious, or triumphant, aname of Visnu. 4. Narasinha-a name of Visnu. When sprayed for by Prahlada to appear from a pillar Vişnu came out in the shape of man-lion and slew Hiranyakaśipu— the king of Daityas and father of Prahlada. 5. Protector of sacrifices-a name of Visnu. 6. Here it is evidently one of the names of Vişņu. In Visnu Purana. Book I, Chap. X. we find another account, Vireyas, married to Gauri, had Sudaman, a Lokapāla, or ruler of the east quarter, as his son.
रावणस्य वचः श्रुत्वा बलिर्वैरोचनोऽब्रवीत्। एष त्रैलोक्यधाता च हरिर्नारायणः प्रभुः॥ अनन्तः कपिलो जिष्णुर्नरसिंहो महाद्युतिः। ऋतुधामा सुधामा च पाशहस्तो भयानकः॥ द्वादशादित्यसदृशः पुराणपुरुषोत्तमः। नीलजीमूतसंकाशः सुरनाथः सुरोत्तमः॥
