नीतिज्ञ एवं मनोहर रूपसे युक्त था ॥१०॥ बाली और सुग्रीव-दोनों ही भाई किष्किन्ध नगरके कुलभूषण थे और विनय आदि गुण उन दोनोंके आभूषण थे ॥११॥ सुग्रीवके बाद श्रीप्रभा नामकी कन्या उत्पन्न हुई जो पृथ्वीमें रूपसे अनुपम थी तथा साक्षात् श्री अर्थात् लक्ष्मीके समान जान पड़ती थी ॥१२॥
सूर्यरजका छोटा भाई ऋक्षरज किष्कुप्रमोदं नामक नगरमें रहता था। सो उसने वहां हरिकान्ता नामक रानीमें क्रमसे नल और नील नामक दो पुत्र उत्पन्न किये ।।१३।। ये दोनों ही पूत्र आत्मीय जनोंको आनन्द प्रदान करते थे, शत्रुओंको भय उत्पन्न करते थे, उत्कृष्ट गुणोंसे युक्त थे और किष्कुप्रमोद नगरके मानो आभूषण ही थे ॥१४॥ विद्वान्, कुशल एवं समीचीन चेष्टाओंको धारण करनेवाले सूर्यरजने जब देखा कि पुत्रको योवन लक्ष्मी कुल-मर्यादाका पालन करनेमें समर्थ हो गयी है, तब उसने पंचेन्द्रियोंके विषयोंको विषमिश्रित अन्नके समान त्याज्य, समझकर धर्म रक्षाका कारणभूत राज्य बालीके लिए दे दिया और सुग्रीवको युवराज बना दिया ॥१५-१६।। सत्पुरुष सूर्यरज स्वजन और परिजनको समान जान तथा चतुर्गति रूप संसारको महादुःखोंसे पीड़ित अनुभव कर पिहितमोह नामक मुनिराजका शिष्य हो गया। जिनेन्द्र भगवान्ने मुनियोंका जैसा चारित्र बतलाया है सूर्यरज वैसे ही चारित्रका आधार था। वह शरीरमें भी निःस्पृह था। उसका हृदय आकाशके समान निर्मल था, वह वायुके समान निःसंग था, क्रोधरहित था और केवल मुक्तिकी ही लालसा रखता हुआ पृथिवीमें विहार करता था ॥१७-१९।।।
अथानन्तर बालीकी ध्रुवा नामकी शीलवती स्त्री थी। वह ध्रुवा अपने गुणोंके अभ्युदयसे उसकी अन्य सौ स्त्रियोंमें प्रधानताको प्राप्त थी ॥२०॥ जिसके मुकुटमें वानरका चिह्न था, तथा विद्याधर राजा जिसकी आज्ञा बड़े सम्मानके साथ मानते थे ऐसा सुन्दर विभ्रमको धारण करने वाला बाली उस ध्रुवा रानीके साथ महान् ऐश्वर्यका अनुभव करता था ॥ २१ ॥ इसी बीचमें मेघप्रभका पुत्र खरदूषण जो निरन्तर छलका अन्वेषण करता था दशाननकी बहन चन्द्रनखाका अपहरण करना चाहता था ।।२२।। जिसका सर्व शरीर सुन्दर था ऐसी चन्द्रनखाको जिस समयसे खरदूषणने देखा था उसी समयसे उसका शरीर कामसे पीड़ित हो गया था ।।२३।।

In the Papuraana, Bali and Sugreeva, the ornaments of the Kishkindha lineage, are to be known. Their virtues, headed by humility, were their ornaments. ||11||
After Sugreeva, a daughter named Shree-Prabha was born, who was unparalleled in beauty on earth. She appeared like Shri (Lakshmi) herself. ||12||
In the city of Kishku-Pramodanagara, Rishyaraja, the younger brother of Suryaraja, had two sons, Nal and Neel, born to him by the queen Harikanta. ||13||
These two sons brought joy to their kin, instilled fear in their enemies, were adorned with noble qualities, and were like ornaments to Kishku-Pramodanagara. ||14||
The wise Suryaraja, skilled in appropriate actions, seeing that his son had attained the age of youth and was capable of upholding the family tradition, renounced the kingdom for the sake of upholding Dharma and gave it to Bali, making Sugreeva the crown prince. ||15-16||
Suryaraja, a virtuous man, considered his kin and others as equal, and realizing the world of four births (humans, animals, gods, and hell beings) to be afflicted by great suffering, became a disciple of the Muni named Pihithamoha. He followed the conduct of the Jina, as described by the Munis. He was free from desire even in his body. His heart was as pure as the sky, he was free from attachment like the wind, devoid of anger, and wandered the earth with the desire for liberation. ||17-19||
Then, Bali took as his wife a virtuous woman named Dhruva. Due to her virtues, she was the foremost among his hundred wives. ||20||
Bali, adorned with a beautiful crown bearing the mark of a monkey, whose commands were obeyed with respect by the celestial kings, enjoyed great prosperity with queen Dhruva. ||21||
Meanwhile, Kharadushan, the son of Meghaprabha, who was constantly seeking deceit, desired to abduct Chandranakha, the sister of Dashaanan (Ravana). ||22||
From the moment Kharadushan saw Chandranakha, whose entire body was beautiful, his body was consumed by lust. ||23||
