Description :
Vamana is described in the Puranas as
the fifth avatar of Vishnu, and the first incarnation of the Second Age
or Treta yuga. He is the first avatar to appear without anthropomorphic
features, although he does appear as a dwarf Namboothiri Brahmin. He is
also known as Upendra, and Trivikrama.
The Bhagavata Purana describes that
Vishnu descended as the Vamana avatar to restore the authority of Indra
over the heavens, as it had been taken by Mahabali, a benevolent Asura
King. Bali was the grandson of Hiranyakshipu, the son of Prahlada.
Vamana, in the guise of a short Brahmin
carrying a wooden umbrella, went to the king to request three paces of
land. Mahabali consented, against the warning of his guru, Sukracharya.
Vamana then revealed his identity and enlarged to gigantic proportions
to stride over the three worlds. He stepped from heaven to earth with
the first step, from earth to the netherworld with the second. King
Mahabali, unable to fulfill his promise, offered his head for the third.
Vamana then placed his foot and gave the king immortality for his
humility.
Vamana taught King Mahabali that pride
should be abandoned for advancement in life, and that wealth should be
appreciated as it can easily disappear.
