Shakra said ‘Listen to my words. I have thus distributed you among different creatures. Those among creatures that will offend you shall be punished by me.-The king of the Daityas, viz., Vali, thus left by Shree, then said, at present the Sun shines equally in the east, west, north and south.
शक्र उवाच भूतानामिह यो वै त्वां मया विनिहितां सतीम्। उपहन्यात् स मे धृष्यस्तथा शृण्वन्तु मे वचः॥ ततस्त्यक्तः श्रिया राजा दैत्यानां बलिरब्रवीत्। यावत् पुरस्तात् प्रतपेत् तावद् वै दक्षिणां दिशम्। पश्चिमां तावदेवापि तथोदीची दिवाकरः॥
