(O janamejaya!) As the deva-s, abandoned their efforts in the battle field for victory and as bali, the powerful among the powerful, maya and shambara became victorious, and the son of diti (bali) started governing all the three worlds,

apavR^itte chandramasi ayanasthe divAkare ||3-65-2
(Note 1)
As all the directions became prosperous and dharma based actions prevailed, as the moon set and the lord of the day (sun) rose and proceeded on his path,

abhAve sarvapApAnAM bhAve chaiva tathA sthite |
bhAve tapasi siddhAnAM sarvatrAshramarakShiShu ||3-65-5
as all kinds of sins disappeared and the good deeds flourished, as the accomplished ones were firm in penances, as all subjects of the stages (Ashramas - brahmacharya (student), gArhastya (householder), vAnaprastha (retired) and sanyAsa (renounced)) were protected everywhere,

as the dharma was fixed on all the four legs (penance, cleanliness, kindness and truth) and as all the three legs of adharma are severed (only one leg remaining), as the kings excelled in protecting their subjects,
