In the Vamana Purana, it is mentioned that the god Vamana assumed the form of a dwarf and visited King Mahabali. Mahabali, despite knowing Vamana's divine identity, offered him his kingdom, which covered the three worlds. Vamana asked for only three paces of land, and when he took his final step, he engulfed the entire universe, exiling King Mahabali to the underworld, where he became the king of the Patala Loka, and was later known as 'Girivardhana'.
