BALI III. An incarnation of Śiva. Śiva incarnated in the hermitage of the Bālakhiyas in the mount of Gandhamādana during the period of Varāha Kalpa (Kalpa—one day of Brahmā or the period of 14 manus). It is seen in Śiva Purāṇa, Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa that Bali had four sons, called Sudhāmā, Kaśyapa, Vasiṣṭha and Virajas.
