| | Vamana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Hinduism, Vamana is the fifth avatar of Vishnu, a dwarf. | | | Vamana taught King Bali that arrogance and pride should be abandoned if any advancement in life is to be made, and that wealth should never be taken for granted since it can so easily be taken away. | | | However he nonetheless agrees to this wish, against Asuraguru Sukracharya's warning that Vamana is in fact the avatar of Mahavishnu who has come once again to defeat the demon race. |
