SB 8.21.12

satya-vratasya satatam
 diksitasya visesatah
nanrtam bhasitum sakyam
 brahmanyasya dayavatah
 
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 
 
“Our lord, Bali Maharaja, is always fixed in truthfulness, and this is especially so at present, since he has been initiated into performing a sacrifice. He is always kind and merciful toward the brahmanas, and he cannot at any time speak lies.
