balipratipadA Song

O King Bali, the king of earth, we humans welcome you with our thought/imagination by decorating the series of lights.

The one who is Lord Vishnu's devotee, would be Lord Indra and son of Virochana, the one who is the King of all demons (danavas), who has good qualities
as his asset and who is like a precious ornament of Sutala Loka.

We worship you on the first day of Kartik month (according to Hindu Lunar Calendar) which is believed to be an auspicious day,
and (on this day) we in our houses pray for the fulfilment of our wishes.

(It looks like) the head of the earth is decorated with different flowers and leaves. Since the golden grains (the land filled with grains) are shining brightly, the sky is also looking beautiful.

We pray to make this earth filled with virtues and series of good luck and let there be feeling of devotion forever filled everywhere.
