When he was young, he worshipped Brahmins by adoring them in various ways using different Vedas. He had deep regard for the wise men and would perform daily yoga sessions. However, because Indra detested him, he was also victorious in a war against the gods of Indraloka. This is why all the deities met with Guru Brihaspati and came to the shrine of Lord Vishnu. There he worshipped and thanked Lord Vishnu, after bowing down to him. When Lord Vishnu opened his eyes, he beheld his cosmic form. He requested that all the gods come, with the blessing of all deities. When the gods’ prayers reached him, Vishnu, in the avatar of Vamana, walked to King Bali and offered to save the gods. After Bali finished doing his yagna, King Bali watched as the Ascended Vamana Rishi walked into the building. Upon hearing the Ascended Vamana Rishi’s name, Bali questioned what his name was and what his reason for coming was. Vaman Brahmachari, who was celibate, asked King Bali for three steps of land and urged him to grant them to him. Bali stated that it was inadequate and urged the mendicant to request more. As a result of this, King Bali agreed to provide Shri Hari three steps of land. Once Vaman became as large as he was before, he increased his size and measured the entire world in one step, and the heavens in the other. He asked Bali where he should put the third step, after that. Bali also recognised after this that this was none other than Vishnu, who was trying to test him. After asking for permission, Bali bent his head, replying, “Lord, you must keep your third foot on my head, and you have also agreed to accompany me wherever I go.” After the Lord placed the third step on King Bali’s head, Vamana Vishnu, who was held back by the word, and along with him, King Bali all went to the realm of Hades. While measuring his steps, Lord Vamana has found Bhuloka, Bhuvarloka, Swargloka, Mahaloka, Janalok, and Yamlok all situated in different parts of his body. At the request of Bali’s son Virochan, the idol of Vishnu, whose main purpose is to destroy all evil, was placed on the back of Sheshnag, who symbolises evil, in the ashram of Virochan’s father. This day God is on the side of the sleeper, asleep.
