Lord Vishnu's universal body contained everything within the universe, including all the gross material elements, the senses, the sense objects, the mind, intelligence, and false ego, the various kinds of living entities, and the actions and reactions of the three modes of material nature.
Bali Maharaja could see the lower planetary systems, such as Rasatala, on the soles of the feet of the Lord's universal form. He saw on the Lord's feet the surface of the globe, on His calves all the mountains, on His knees the various birds, and on His thighs the varieties of air.
Beneath the garments of the Lord, Bali Maharaja saw the evening twilight, in the Lord's private parts the Prajapatis, and in the round portion of the waist himself with his confidential associates. In the Lord's navel Bali saw the sky, on the Lord's waist the seven oceans, and on the Lord's bosom the clusters of stars.
In the heart of the Lord's universal form Bali Maharaja saw religion; on the chest, pleasing words and truthfulness; in the mind, the moon; on the bosom, the goddess of fortune, with a lotus in her hand; on the neck, the Vedas and all other sound vibrations; on the arms, all the demigods, headed by King Indra; in both ears, all the directions; on the head, the upper planetary systems; on the hair, the clouds; in the nostrils, the wind; on the eyes, the sun; and in the mouth, fire.
From His words came all the Vedic mantras, on His tongue was the demigod of water, Varunadeva, on His eyebrows were the regulative principles, and on His eyelids were day and night. On His forehead was anger, and on His lips was greed. In His touch were lusty desires, in His semen were all the waters, on His back was irreligion, and in His wonderful activities was the fire of sacrifice.
On His shadow was death, in His smile was the illusory energy, and on the hairs of His body were all the drugs and herbs. In his veins were all the rivers, on His nails were all stones, in His intelligence was Lord Brahma, the demigods, and the great saintly persons, and throughout His entire body and senses were all living entities, moving and stationary.
Bali Maharaja thus saw everything in the gigantic body of the Lord.
