The blood of Bali was taken by the god of the Sun: Surya,
who fled into the vastness of space. However Ravana,
the mortal king of Sri Lanka, puffed up with his regal
power attempted to stop the god's flight. Terrified
of Ravana's fearsome presence, the Sun god dropped Bali's
blood, which fell down into the deep pools of India,
Burma, Siam, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet and
Sri Lanka.
