Sūta said:: Many boons were granted to the intelligent Bali by Brahmā who had become pleased. They were—Mahāyogitva (State of being a great Yogin); longevity extending to one Kalpa; invincibility in battles; ability to visit the three worlds, prominence in the matter of progeny due to his power of piety and devotion, state of being unrivalled, ability to understand the principle of Dharma (Devotion, Virtue and Piety). (He was told thus)—“You will establish the four castes duly”. On being told thus by the lord (Brahmā), Bali, the king, attained great tranquility. After a long time the scholarly king attained his own region.
