BALI

Conspiracy of The Devas

Indra, lord of heaven, heard of Bali's fame on earth, and the fire of jealousy was kindled in his heart. He called the Devas and addressed them thus: "if we allow Bali to grow from strength to strength, he will endanger the supremacy of the Devas in Heaven. Only when injustice and unrighteousness are encouraged in his empire, will it be possible to subdue him. To incite his subjects to become unjust and unrighteous, let us send Kalipurusha. We should see that there are no rains and no crops so that the subjects will rise in revolt against Bali." Accordingly Kalipurusha was sent to the earth in order to create disorder and turmoil.
