Men were not allowed to enter the dancing hall. So, Aruṇa managed to enter the hall by disguising himself as a beautiful lady. The moment Indra saw her he fell in love with her. The name she assumed at that time was Aruṇī. Indra secretly took her outside and they had a sexual union. Bāli was the son born from their union. - [Previous: c7.934](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.934) - [Next: c7.936](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.936) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.935](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.935) · Pramāṇa
