Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O King! When Bali Mahārāja lost all his wealth and became unconscious, Śukrācārya, a descendant of Bhṛgu, brought him back to life. Because of this, the great soul Bali Mahārāja became a disciple of Śukrācārya and began to serve him with great faith, offering to him everything he had. Bali lost his wealth in the fight with the devatās, and his life airs abandoned him (hāpitaḥ).
