As King Bali was follower of him, Lord Vishnu went in a simple peace way, he took the form of a tiny, cute and flourished little Brahman Dwarf named Vamana. The aesthetic appearance made the people delusioned within the bond. Then Dwarf met the King Bali, as being a Brahman the King ask to fulfill any of his wish.

Birth Of The Brahman Dwarf

Being the Grandson of Prahlad, he went on to become the biggest devotee of Lord Vishnu. He had a huge affinity towards power of expansion which led him to rule the entire Prithvi Lok (Earth). People of Swarg Lok and Patal Lok began to fear over the Demon King's reign. Lord Indra in fear requested Lord Vishnu to look into it.

King Bali 

If am not satisfied with the 3 steps of land, I will not be satisfied even with the whole universe. If I acquire 1, with legitimate power I will have to place two shunya (zeros) and make it 100 to fulfill my pleasure. But, those two shunya's represent greed and selfishness.

Theory Of Vamana

Scratching the words over the brain, Shukracharya ( Master of Asuras) realized that the dwarf is actually Lord Vishnu. As soon as the master realized it, he began to hoax the King to not fulfill any of his wish, but he had made his promise with Vamana.

Reveleation 

Vamana then began to grow as stupendous as to cover all of the livings elements of Pruthvi Lok (Earth) just under his feet. On his first step he covered the Prithvi Lok, on second he towered his foot upto Swarg Lok covering it. Else for the third step nothing was left.The King feeling defeated placed Vamana foot on his head as a mark of defeat and understood Lord Vishnu's purpose for his reincarnation.

Stalemate Move

Vamana stated that he needed a only 3 steps of land of his foot. The King urged to ask more. Vamana answered, " I have asked what was necessary and pleasurable to me. Wanting for more would never eliminate my thirst."

Vamana Avatar - Fifth Avatar Of Vishnu | Dashavatar Despite being an Asura, King Bali was a pious man and was a devotee of Vishnu like his grandfather Prahalad. One day the Brahmana Vamana reached the court of King Bali requesting for charity or alms. It was a custom in the court of Bali that no Brahman would leave his place empty handed. So the King was more than willing to offer the Brahmana anything he desired. Upon questioning his needs, Vamana said that he wanted land measuring up to three steps of his tiny feet. But Bali urged the Brahman that he was capable of giving him more and insisted that he asked enough that he would never have to anything ever again. Bali asked Vamana to measure his three-foot sized land and it would be given to him. Then Vishnu in the form of Vamana began growing his size. He grew and grew until he filled the whole universe. He then lifted his foot to measure three steps. In one step he measured the whole Earth under his feet. In his second step he covered the SwargaLok. Vamana in his gigantic form asked his Bali that he had convered the Earth and Heaven in two stride. Now there was nothing left in the universe that could satisfy his demand of the third foot of land. But since Bali had promised him three-foot of land, it was his duty to fulfill his promise. Bali was defeated. But in all his humility he requested Vishnu to come back to his original form of Vamana, so he could fulfill his promise. Vishnu accepted his request and retured his gentle form of a dwarf. The King then asked Vamana to put his third step on his head, thus surrendering everything he had, even himself to Vishnu. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Please Like, Share and Subscribe our videos.*** Press the bell button to stay notified about our new videos! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: 1.
