Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: After speaking in this way, Bali Mahārāja offered his obeisances first to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, and then to Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva. Thus he was released from the bondage of the nāga-pāśa [the ropes of Varuṇa], and in full satisfaction he entered the planet known as Sutala.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: After speaking in this way, Bali Mahārāja offered his obeisances first to the Supreme Lord, and then to Brahmā and Śiva. Released from the bondage of Varuṇa’s ropes, and in full satisfaction, he entered the planet known as Sutala with the demons.
Muktaḥ means ‘”released from the snake ropes.”
