ITRANS:

hatvā kāṇvaṁ suśarmāṇaṁtad-bhṛtyo vṛṣalo balīgāṁ bhokṣyaty andhra-jātīyaḥkañcit kālam asattamaḥ

Translation:

The last of the Kāṇvas, Suśarmā, will be murdered by his own servant, Balī, a low-class śūdra of the Andhra race. This most degraded Mahārāja Balī will have control over the earth for some time.

Purport:

Here is a further description of how uncultured men infiltrated government administration. The so-called king named Balī is described as asattama, a most impious, uncultured man.
