Re: Vamana Avatharam

Respected Members,

According to both Sri Vishnu Puranam and Srimad Bhagavatham, there is no
mention of Sri Vamana putting the 3 step over Mahabali's head.
After the Lord, measured the whole universe, Mahabali stood speechless
devoid of any further ego.
By this process, Lord, earned the rightful kingdom back to his 'brother'
Indira.

It is interesting to note that one of Lord's name is 'Upendra' , brother of
Indra.



Regards

KM Narayanan

[ To clarify what Sri Narayanan has pointed out: Srimad Bhagavatam does have Bali begging Vamana perumAL to place his foot on his head as the third step This, so that the word he (Bali) gave may not go untrue. What is not mentioned is if perumAL went on to do it.----Moderator]
