Bali Mahārāja said: What a wonderful effect there is in even attempting to offer respectful obeisances to You! I merely endeavored to offer You obeisances, but nonetheless the attempt was as successful as those of pure devotees. The causeless mercy You have shown to me, a fallen demon, was never achieved even by the demigods or the leaders of the various planets.

अहो प्रणामाय कृत: समुद्यम: प्रपन्‍नभक्तार्थविधौ समाहित:। यल्लोकपालैस्त्वदनुग्रहोऽमरै- रलब्धपूर्वोऽपसदेऽसुरेऽर्पित: ॥ २

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

बलिने कहा— प्रभो! मैंने तो आपको पूरा प्रणाम भी नहीं किया, केवल प्रणाम करनेमात्रकी चेष्टाभर की। उसीसे मुझे वह फल मिला, जो आपके चरणोंके शरणागत भक्तोंको प्राप्त होता है। बड़े-बड़े लोकपाल और देवताओंपर आपने जो कृपा कभी नहीं की वह मुझ-जैसे नीच असुरको सहज ही प्राप्त हो गयी॥ २॥

स्रोत-खंड सीमा · यह हिन्दी अंश गीता प्रेस डिजिटल पाठ में इस दृश्य श्लोक-इकाई के बाद आता है; इसे स्वतः एक-से-एक टीका या संस्करण-समानता नहीं माना गया है।
