hāhā-kāraḥ - a tumultuous roar of lamentation; mahān - great; āsīt - there was; rodasyoḥ - in both the lower and upper planetary systems; sarvataḥ - everywhere; diśam - all directions; nigṛhyamāṇe - because of being suppressed; asura-patau - when Bali Mahārāja, the King of the demons; viṣṇunā - by Lord Viṣṇu; prabhaviṣṇunā - who is the most powerful everywhere.

When Bali Mahārāja was thus arrested by Lord Viṣṇu, who is the most powerful, there was a great roar of lamentation in all directions throughout the upper and lower planetary systems of the universe.
