In such a situation, let’s read the story of Vamana Jayanti.
Story of Vamana Dwadashi
According to the legend of Vamana Dwadashi, once a very powerful demon King Bali snatched Devaloka from Indra Dev. Then Indra Dev came with all the gods to seek help from Lord Vishnu, because he was afraid that King Bali could become the supreme ruler and would take possession of Devaloka. Lord Vishnu assured all the deities that they will soon find a solution to this problem and get them back. At the behest of Indra Dev, Lord Vishnu took his fifth incarnation on earth as Vamana.
The demon Asura Raj is also the grandson of Bali Prahlad, hence he is known as Dayalu Asura. Vamana Dev changed the disguise of the dwarf Brahmin and went to King Bali. King Bali organized a yagna, in which Lord Vamana also reached and after reaching there, he asked King Bali to live three steps (Kadam) land to live. Anyone who used to go to the door of King Bali, never sent him empty handed. Guru was also present during the same yagna and he recognized Lord Vishnu.
Guru Shukracharya also warned King Bali, but despite this, King Bali promised Vamana Dev. Vamana Dev made his size so big that he measured the entire Bhootok (Earth) in the first step. Then in the second step, Lord Vamana measured the whole god. At the same time, when the turn of the third step came, the land was over, but the firm king of the promise, while fulfilling his promise, made his head in front of Vamana Dev. Vamana Dev was very happy to see this and he decided to give Hades to King Bali. Vamana Dev put his foot on the head of King Bali, which caused King Bali to reach the Hades.
