Vamana Avatharam

From the Bhakti List Archives

||Srimathe Ramanujaaya Nama:||

I need a clarification on the Vamana Avatharam. The story goes like Vishnu in the form of young boy Vamana, came asking for three foot of land to Mahabali and with one foot he measured the entire bhumi, with one foot the Akasha and since there was no place for the third foot Mahabali gave his head.

 

Here is my question:

Mahabali was also in the Bhumi. How was he not covered in the first footstep when Vishnu was measuring the Bhumi with the first step

Waiting for a nice explanation.
