Vāmana (Skt., ‘dwarf’). In Hindu mythology, the form (the fifth)
avatāra which
Viṣṇu adopted in order to trick the demon king
Bali into restoring the world to the gods. When Bali agreed to give him three paces of land, the dwarf grew to an enormous size so that his first two steps covered earth and heaven, and Bali had to offer his own head for the third step. (This cosmic version of Vāmana is known as
Trivikrama, Skt., ‘three steps’.) Vāmana is the fifth
avatāra in the standard list, and his is the only avatāra story which has a clear connection with the Viṣṇu of the
Ṛg Veda.
