Translation: 

 

Indeed, the spotless glories of Bali Maharaja are heard throughout the world. Lord Visnu, wishing to recover Indra’s opulence from Bali, appeared before him in the guise of a brahmana and made him fall from his powerful position. Though aware of the ruse and forbidden by his guru, Bali, king of the demons, still gave Visnu the whole earth in charity.
