## Ninth Chapter
And the Sun King begot a son named Bali from his queen Chandramalini, a woman full of virtues. || 1 || He was always benevolent, virtuous, wise, skillful, patient, blessed with fortune, valiant, knowledgeable, adorned with arts, possessed of right vision, immensely strong, a master of statecraft, a hero, compassionate, learned, radiant, and endowed with great brilliance. || 2-3 || Just as the birth of excellent sandalwood is rare in the world, so too is the birth of exceptional men like Bali. || 4 || Bali, with his doubts dispelled, was devoted to the worship of all the Jina images, with pure devotion. || 5 || He could circumambulate Jambudvipa, surrounded by four oceans, thrice in a moment and return to his city of Kishkindha. || 6 || Bali, with his extraordinary prowess, was a destroyer of the enemy forces, like the moon blossoming the lotus-like eyes of the citizens, and he was always free from doubt. || 7 || In the beautiful city of Kishkindha, adorned with colorful palaces and gateways, filled with learned men, and teeming with elephants and horses, and bustling with various markets, Bali enjoyed himself just as Indra, adorned with a garland of jewels, enjoys himself in the heavenly abode of Aishana. || 8-9 ||
Bali had a younger brother named Sugriva, who was also a valiant hero, endowed with a charming form. || 10 ||
