kasyacinnaiva viśvāsaḥ kartavyaḥ sarvathā budhaiḥ |
kurvanduḥkhamavāpnoti dṛṣṭāntastvatra vai baliḥ ||

O Lord! The wise should never trust any body; if on any body he places his trust, he will surely come to grief. For example, see the case of the king Bali. Bali, the son of Virochana, and the grandson of Prahlâda, was prosperous, devoted to his religion, true to his promise, performer of sacrifices, generous, always giving protection to and liked by the saints and a great warrior. His mind never turned to any irreligious subject and he performed ninety nine Yajñas with full Daksinâs (remunerations).
