2 - Verse 26-32

Sutapa was born to Hema and Bali was the son of Sutapas* (Bd. P.) . The noble-minded Bali who was a great Yogin was bound (by Vamana) . He took birth in the human womb, being desirous of children, as the family was nearing extinction due to absence of issues. He begot sons who established the discriplines of four castes on this earth. He procreated the sons Anga, Vahga, Sulha, Pun^ra and Kalinga. These are called Baleya Ksatras (the K$atriyas born of Bali). That lord had Brahmaria sons also called Baleya Brahmanas. They established the line (of Bali). Many boons were granted to the intelligent Bali by the delighted Brahma. The boons granted were Mahayogitva (the state of being a great Yogin) , longevity of life lasting for a Kalpa, invincibility in war, great inclination towards righteousness and piety, the vision of the three worlds, importance among his descendants, unrivalled state in strength as the ability to see the true principles of Dharma. “You will establish the (discipline of) four castes’’—on being thus told by the lord, king Bali attained great peace (of mind).
