In the Padma Purana, it is clearly stated that he was captured by the planet. But you are healthy, why are you praising him so much, you lowly messenger? ||66||
Having said this, Vyāghravilombī became enraged, his face was difficult to look at, and his body trembled visibly. In this state, he was about to shoot an arrow at the messenger, but Bālī stopped him, saying ||67||
What is the benefit of killing a poor messenger who is merely conveying the words of his master? These people are just echoes of their master's words. ||68||
Whatever is in his mind, Daśānana should do it. Surely, Daśānana's lifespan is short, that's why he is speaking such harsh words. ||69||
Then, the terrified messenger went and reported everything to Daśānana, and the wrath of Daśānana, who possessed unbearable power, was ignited. ||70||
He immediately prepared his army and set out for Kiṣkindhā, for he was made of atoms of pride. ||71||
Hearing the roar of the enemy army, which covered the sky, Bālī, skilled in warfare, decided to leave the palace. ||72||
Then, Bālī, who was burning with anger, was pacified by the wise ministers like Sāgaravṛddhi, who poured out words like water, saying, "O Lord, let there be no unnecessary war, forgive him. Many kings who loved war have perished without reason." ||73-74||
Even those who were protected by the gods, who had the support of the rays of the sun, and who were known as the eight lunar mansions, perished by the arrows of Jayakumāra. ||75||
A vast army, difficult to look at, armed with swords and maces, was also destroyed. Therefore, you should not get on the unparalleled scale of doubt. ||76||
Hearing the words of his ministers, Bālī said, "Although it is not proper to praise oneself, I will tell you the truth, O ministers. ||77||
I am capable of crushing Daśānana, along with his army, with just the flick of my eyebrow, with a blow from the palm of my left hand." ||78||
