अवध्य: सर्वलोकानां सदेवासुररक्षसाम् । भविष्यति स शक्रं वा स्वराज्याच्च्यावयिष्यति,विरोचनके एक बलवान पुत्र होगा, जो महासुर बलिके नामसे विख्यात होगा। उसे देवता, असुर तथा राक्षसोंसहित सम्पूर्ण लोक भी नहीं मार सकेंगे। वह इन्द्रको राज्यसे भ्रष्ट कर देगा
avadhyaḥ sarvalokānāṃ sadevāsurarākṣasām | bhaviṣyati sa śakraṃ vā svarājyāc cyāvayiṣyati ||
