अंगद तहीं बालि कर बालक। उपजेहु बंस अनल कुल घालक॥ गर्भ न गयहु ब्यर्थ तुम्ह जायहु। निज मुख तापस दूत कहायहु॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
aṃgada tahīṃ bāli kara bālaka। upajehu baṃsa anala kula ghālaka॥ garbha na gayahu byartha tumha jāyahu। nija mukha tāpasa dūta kahāyahu॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
Angad, you are Bali's own boy; you were born like fire in your own clan's bamboo grove, a destroyer of the family line. Why did you not die in the womb? You were born in vain, since with your own mouth you call yourself a messenger of ascetics!
