Neither you nor your men can conquer the most powerful Bali. Indeed, no one but the Supreme Personality of Godhead can conquer him, for he is now equipped with the supreme spiritual power [brahma-tejas]. As no one can stand before Yamarāja, no one can now stand before Bali Mahārāja.

Translation
Neither you nor anyone like you can conquer the most powerful Bali. Indeed, no one but the Supreme Lord can conquer him, for he is now equipped with the power of brāhmaṇas. Just as no one can stand before Yamarāja, no one can now stand before Bali.
“Shall I go out and fight with him now or not?” He answers with this verse.
