The Lord Appears to the Devas and Instructs the Truce; Mandara Is Brought for Churning
ते वैरोचनिमासीनं गुप्तं चासुरयूथपै: । श्रिया परमया जुष्टं जिताशेषमुपागमन् ॥ २९ ॥
te vairocanim āsīnaṁ guptaṁ cāsura-yūtha-paiḥ śriyā paramayā juṣṭaṁ jitāśeṣam upāgaman
Chư thiên đến gần Bali Mahārāja, con của Virocana, và ngồi bên cạnh ngài. Bali được các tướng asura bảo vệ, rực rỡ phú quý và đã chinh phục toàn thể vũ trụ.
Vairocanī refers to Bali Mahārāja, the son of Virocana, famed for his power and opulence in the Eighth Canto.
In this section of the narrative, the devas seek a truce/strategic cooperation with the asuras, and thus they go to the powerful Bali, who was guarded by asura leaders.
Worldly victory brings visibility, wealth, and guards—yet the Bhagavatam later shows that true security ultimately rests in the Supreme Lord’s will, not in conquest alone.
