17. Like a hunter of cruel purpose He hit with an arrow the great monkey (Vali). Influenced by one woman He deformed another that came to him love-stricken. Having accepted his worship He bound hand and foot Bali as if he were a crow. Enough of the efforts to enter into His friendship: but it is impossible to give up the wealth of His stories.
