Shloka 58
असुराणां तु यः सूर्य: श्रीमांश्नैव महासुर: । दरदो नाम बाह्लीको वर: सर्वमहीक्षिताम्,असुरोंमें जो सूर्य नामक श्रीसम्पन्न महान् असुर था, वही पृथ्वीपर सब राजाओंमें श्रेष्ठ दरद नामक बाह्लीकराज हुआ
asurāṇāṃ tu yaḥ sūryaḥ śrīmāñ śnaiva mahāsuraḥ | darado nāma bāhlīko varaḥ sarvamahīkṣitām ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“在阿修罗之中，有一位光辉显赫的大阿修罗，名为‘苏利耶’（Sūrya）。正是他降生人间，成为巴赫利迦（Bāhlīka）之王‘达罗陀’（Darada），以诸王之最而著称。”

The verse highlights the Mahābhārata’s recurring idea that extraordinary cosmic beings can manifest in human lineages; such inherited splendor and power gain true worth only when aligned with responsible kingship and dharmic restraint.
Vaiśampāyana identifies a past great Asura named Sūrya and states that he became (was born as) Darada, a Bāhlīka king, celebrated as the best among earthly rulers—part of a genealogical/cosmological mapping of beings to human dynasties.
