The name of this incarnation is Vaman Avatar
Once upon a time, after getting defeated by Indra in the war, Rajabali took refuge in Guru Shukracharya. Shukracharya awakened the feeling of God in him. After some time, by the Grace of Guru, Bali took over the heaven. How strange is the glory of God that yesterday’s Devraj Indra is today. He became a beggar and started wandering in every religion and finally took refuge in his mother Aditi. Seeing the condition of Indra, her heart started breaking. Saddened by the Grief of her son, Aditi performed the ritual of Prayog fast. On the last day of the fast, God appeared and said to the guest, Devi, do not worry, I will be born in the form of your son and will do good to Indra by making him his younger brother. Saying this he disappeared.
At least that auspicious moment has come. God incarnated in the form of Vamana from Aditi’s womb. Aditi’s happiness knew no bounds after finding God in the form of a son. Seeing God in the form of Vaman Brahmachari, the gods and Maharishis were very happy. They look Kashyap ji forward and got the Upanayan etc. rituals done for the Lord.
At the same time Lord heard that king Bali was performing Ashwamedha Yagya at a place called Bhrigukachha. He traveled there. Lord Vamana was wearing Punjaki’s belt and Similarly, in the guise of a Dwarf Brahmin, the Lord, who had become a celibate due to his illusion, entered Bali’s yagya-mandap. Seeing them the girl’s heart became happy. He gave a good seat to the Lord. Bali worshiped Vamana in various ways.
After that Bali requested that Lord to ask for something. He asked for three paces of land. Shukracharya was understanding the Lord’s Leela. He forbade the sacrifices from giving donations. Baline did not agree. He picked up the water vessel. One of his eyes got torn.
As soon as the resolution was fulfilled, Lord Vaman measured the earth in one step and the heaven in the other. In the other. In the third step Bali handed himself over. God was pleased with this dedication of the sacrifice. He gave him the kingdom of Sutala Loka. Made Indra the Lord of heaven.
It is said that Lord Vamana appeared as the gatekeeper of king Baliko and Upendra.
He gives daily darshan to Indra in this form.
We all salute the most merciful Vamana bhagwan.
