VAMANA AVATAR

 The 5th avatar of Lord Vishnu, Vamana, was a dwarf Brahmin. This Vishnu avatar comes to check the growing power of the Asura King Mahabali. Vamana, which he does by tricking him during a sacrificing ceremony and sending him to the underworld.                                                                                                                                 In his Vamana avatar, Vishnu attended the yajna organized by King Mahabali, who was well-known for his generosity. The King welcomed Vamana and honored him by offering him anything he desired. Brahmins were always held in high regard and were never turned away during those times. Vamana only requested three paces of land. King Mahabali was surprised and asked Vamana to ask for more, but Lord Vamana refused to ask more. Mahabali granted the request, and the dwarf avatar of Vishnu transformed into a giant form to take everything in the universe in three steps. Mahabali immediately surrendered to Lord Vamana after witnessing his real image. Due to his devotion, he was given Patala Loka and Deva Loka was given back to Lord Indra.

                                                              

SASHI's VIEWS

Prahalad because king and ruled the kingdom south of Vindhya and was a successful king.
After the death of his father, Prahlāda took his father's kingdom and ruled peacefully and virtuously. He was known for his generosity and kindness. He sowed similar seeds in his son Virochana and grandson Mahabali.
          Prahlada became the mighty king of the Asuras. Prahlada was even more powerful than his father, Hiranyakashipu ever was. He enjoyed the love and respect of his subjects. By virtue of his good behaviour, Prahlada conquered the three worlds easily and Indra ran away from the Heavens. Indra then deceived Prahlada into giving him the power of his behaviour and Prahlada lost control of the three worlds.The Asuras grew angry at the Devas for taking advantage of their King's virtuous behaviour and invaded the heavens. The Devas, afraid of the Asuras, enlisted the help of human Kings such as Yayati, Raji and Kakutstha and defeated them. Prahlada attacked the gods and defeated Indra in battle, forcing the King of the Gods to run for his life. Indra sought help of Lord Vishnu. Infused with his power, Indra defeated Prahlada. The latter understood that Vishnu was helping Indra in battle and he withdrew his forces. Prahlada first gave his kingdom to Andhaka, but the latter was defeated by Shiva. So Prahlada gave it to his son Virochana and undertook a Tirtha Yuga.
