In plain words
Virocana was the son of Prahlāda, the great devotee. But Virocana's nature turned the other way. Virocana's views were those of a rationalist. His philosophy was the philosophy of the Cārvākas. The son of that Virocana was Bali Cakravarti, the utterly pure. This Bali Cakravarti was Prahlāda's grandson. This Bali Cakravarti ruled the people like children of his own. He was worthy of the people's Prema and their esteem. He looked on the people as the limbs of his own body, and the people trusted him as the heart in the body. That people and that emperor were each a fitting match for the other.

In every age and in every religion, feelings of envy of this kind have flared up, spread unrest of every sort and stirred up some turmoil in society.

Even among the gods who watched this sacrifice, a feeling of envy began. All of them went to Nārāyaṇa: "Swāmi!
