Verse 6.91.21

इत्यद्यापि तपःखाते दुःखे ह्यस्मिन्सुदारुणे ।
स्थितोऽसि पातालतले नृप बद्धो यथा बलिः ॥ २१ ॥

ityadyāpi tapaḥkhāte duḥkhe hyasminsudāruṇe |
sthito'si pātālatale nṛpa baddho yathā baliḥ || 21 ||

You are still encaged in this prison house of the ascetic's cell, and doomed to undergo all the imaginative torments of your penance and martyrdom. You verily resemble the fallen Bali, that is confined in his subterranean cell.
