अथ ते दानवास्तत्र बलेरनुचरास्तदा ।
तद्गेहं स्फाटिकं सौधमुच्चैरारुरुहुः क्षणात् ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
atha te dānavāstatra baleranucarāstadā |
tadgehaṃ sphāṭikaṃ saudhamuccairāruruhuḥ kṣaṇāt || 1 ||

Vasishtha continued:—The servile demons of Bali (being impatient at this numbness of their king), ascended hastily to his high crystal palace, and stood at the door of his chamber.
