||Srimathe Ramanujaaya Nama: ||
Thanks for the information. It is a news to me that Vishnu Puranam and Srimad Bhagavatham does not mention about Lord putting his thiruvadi on Mahabali. Then how did the other story propagate? Can someone clarify?
Further I need one clarification about UPENDRA. If we look at Narayana Sooktham Lord is mentioned as INDRA ( " SaBrahma sa Shiva Sa Indra Sokshara Parama Swaraat"). Does this mean he is Brother of himself? 
I would highly appreciate if someone clarifies me on these.

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.
