Bali, the king, was busy in performing a yajna in his palace.
A low stature dwarf in the form of brahmin came there reciting all the four Vedas.
The king after calling him in asked him to demand anything he liked.
Immediately priest Sukracharya made the king (Bali) understand that he (the beggar) is undeceivable God and He had came to delude him.
The dwarf demanded two and half steps length of earth (which was granted by the king).
Then the dwarf expanded his body so much that now the three worlds were insufficient for him.
Even knowing this deception Bali allowed himself to be deceived so, and seeing this Vishnu embraced him.
When he covered the three worlds in two steps, for third half-step king Bali offered his own back.
Bali was given the kingdom of the netherworld where surrendering to God he engaged himself in the loving devotion of the Lord. Vishnu was delighted to be the doorkeeper of Bali.
