To pacify King Indra, Bṛhaspati assured him that the time would certainly come, for Bṛhaspati could see that in the future Bali Mahārāja would defy the orders of Śukrācārya in order to pacify Lord Viṣṇu, Vāmanadeva. Of course, to advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one can take all risks. To please Vāmanadeva, Bali Mahārāja risked defying the orders of his spiritual master, Śukrācārya. Because of this, he would lose all his property, yet because of devotional service to the Lord, he would get more than he expected, and in the future, in the eighth <i>manvantara,</i> he would occupy the throne of Indra again."

"We have seen in the dispute between Mahārāja Pṛthu and Indra that when Mahārāja Pṛthu wanted to perform one hundred <i>aśvamedha-yajñas,</i> Indra wanted to impede him, for it is because of such great sacrifices that Indra was made King of heaven. Here the <i>brāhmaṇa</i> descendants of Bhṛgu decided that although Mahārāja Bali was situated on the throne of Indra, he would not be able to stay there unless he performed such sacrifices. Therefore they advised Mahārāja Bali to perform at least as many <i>aśvamedha-yajñas</i> as Indra. The word <i>ayājayan</i> indicates that all the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> induced Bali Mahārāja to perform such sacrifices."
