Lord Vishnu is born as 'Vaman Avtar' (a dwarf) to Aditi. During the ceremony in presence of the gods the meaning of 'sacred thread' and 'Bhiksha' is explained. Lord Vishnu pardons Indra and the other gods but only if they remain humble and considerate. Lord Vishnu as Vaman goes to Bali and asks for three paces of land. Bali is amused but Guru Sukracharya is suspicious. Bali grants Vaman his wish who turns into a 'urugyu', his legs stretched beyond the abyss and his head rose above the clouds. Bali is overwhelmed by humility and bows to Lord Vishnu for not recognizing him. Lord Vishnu grants him salvation.
