या युक्तिर्भगवंस्तस्य चित्तस्याक्रमणे स्फुटम् ।
तां मे कथय तत्तावद्यथा जेष्यामि दारुणम् ॥ १६ ॥

baliruvāca |
yā yuktirbhagavaṃstasya cittasyākramaṇe sphuṭam |
tāṃ me kathaya tattāvadyathā jeṣyāmi dāruṇam || 16 ||

Bali interrogated said:—What are these means, sir, which we are to adopt for quelling the mind; tell it plainly to me, that I may resort to the same, for this conquering invincible barrier of bliss.
