tadÄ - at that time; asura-indram - unto the King of the demons, Bali MahÄrÄja; divi - in the higher planetary system; devatÄ-gaṇÄḥ - the residents known as the demigods; gandharva - the Gandharvas; vidyÄdhara - the VidyÄdharas; siddha - the residents of Siddhaloka; cÄraṇÄḥ - the residents of CÄraṇaloka; tat - that; karma - action; sarve api - all of them; gṛṇantaḥ - declaring; Ärjavam - plain and simple; prasÅ«na-vará¹£aiḥ - with a shower of flowers; vavṛṣuḥ - released; mudÄ-anvitÄḥ - being very pleased with him.
At that time, the residents of the higher planetary system, namely the demigods, the Gandharvas, the VidyÄdharas, the Siddhas and the CÄraṇas, all being very pleased by Bali MahÄrÄja’s simple, nonduplicitous act, praised his qualities and showered upon him millions of flowers.
Ä€rjavam — simplicity or freedom from duplicity — is a qualification of a brÄhmaṇa and a Vaiṣṇava. A Vaiṣṇava automatically acquires all the qualities of a brÄhmaṇa.
yasyÄsti bhaktir bhagavaty akiñcanÄ
sarvair guṇais tatra samÄsate surÄḥ
(BhÄg. 5.18.12)
A Vaiṣṇava should possess the brahminical qualities such as satya, Å›ama, dama, titiká¹£Ä and Ärjava. There cannot be any duplicity in the character of a Vaiṣṇava. When Bali MahÄrÄja acted with unflinching faith and devotion unto the lotus feet of Lord Viṣṇu, this was very much appreciated by all the residents of the higher planetary system.
