बलिः पातालपीठस्थः कुर्वन्सदिव संस्थितिम् ।
सदा त्यागी सदाऽसक्तो जीवन्मुक्त इति स्थितः ॥ ५ ॥

baliḥ pātālapīṭhasthaḥ kurvansadiva saṃsthitim |
sadā tyāgī sadā'sakto jīvanmukta iti sthitaḥ || 5 ||

Think of Bali, who while he was confined in the infernal region, conducted himself in his virtuous course, and became liberated in his lifetime, by his unbounded bounty and want of attachment to the world.
