Prayers to Vamana/Trivikrama Avathara
Of Vishnu
Compiled by
P.R.Ramachander
(May be little
long but
you would not find all this
information about God Vamana/Trivikrama in same place)
Vamana (Sanskrit: वामन: Vāmana,
lit. dwarf), is the fifth avatar of Hindu god Vishnu He
incarnates in a time of crisis to restore cosmic balance by creatively
defeating the Asura king who had acquired disproportionate
power over the universe. According to Hindu mythology, the noble demon king
sponsors a sacrifice and gift giving ceremony to consolidate his power, and
Vishnu appears at this ceremony as a dwarf mendicant Brahmin called
Vamana. When Vamana's turn comes to receive a gift, Mahabali offers him
whatever riches and material wealth he would like, but Vamana refuses
everything and states he would just like three paces of land. Mahabali finds
the dwarf's request amusingly small and irrevocably grants it in spite of
sage Shukra’s warning him. Vamana then grows into a
giant of cosmic proportions(called Trivikrama) . In one step he covers the
earth, in another the heavens, and for the third, Mahabali offers his head on
which Vamana steps, sending the demon king to the Patala (netherworld).

1.The story of
Vamana Avathara
from Narayaneeyam is given in
Dasakam 30 and 31
Dasakam 30 The incarnation of Vamana
(When Mahabali became very powerful, Lord Vishnu took the incarnation of Vamana and begged for three feet of land. He then assumed the form of Trivikrama and measured the entire world in two steps. Mahabali requested him to keep his third step on his head. Lord Vishnu then made this great asura king to stay in Patala.)
Bali who was killed by Indra , in the battle after churning for nectar,
Was brought back to life by Sage Shukra and with that body,
Did several fire sacrifices and thereby became very powerful,
And became not even afraid of the holy wheel of yours,
Conquered all the three worlds , from which the devas had run away. 30.1
Adithi , the mother of devas unable to see the suffering of her sons,
Went and requested her husband , sage Kasyapa to do some thing,
And according to his advice worshipped you adopting Payovrutha*,
And with great devotion worshipped you for twelve days. 30.2
*A famous penance to get children
When the worship was completed , you appeared before her,
Who was completely immersed herself in your devotion,
In the form with dark blue colour and with four hands,
And you told her , who fell down at your feet in salutation,
“I am going to be born as your son, but keep my appearance as a secret”,
And then you vanished from there. 30.3
Later you entered the seed of sage Kashyapa who was doing penance,
And thus entered the womb of Adithi, making Brahma praise you,
And Adithi gave birth to a divine child , who had a Vaishnavite signs,
On the auspicious Sravana Dwadasi day. 30.4
The joyous devas played very many auspicious drums,
And rained flowers on the holy blessed hermitage,
Saluted you and heralded your victory,
And you were also prayed by your own parents,
And you instantly adopted the form of a young Brahmachari*. 30.5
*The one who studies Vedas after sacred thread ceremony.
Hey God , then you were given sacred thread by sage Kasyapa,
And were given mounji grass, stick of palasa, deer skin, chain of beads etc,
And adorned by these and shining with divine light,
You performed the worship to fire and started to the place,
Where Mahabali was doing the Aswamedha sacrifice. 30.6
With a form foretelling the great events that are unfolding ,
With a walk creating tremors on the earth ,
With an umbrella , possibly to prevent the heat of enemies,
And with a stick possibly to punish the asuras , you proceeded. 30.7
When you approached the place of the horse sacrifice ,
Situated in the northern bank of Narmada,
Blinded by the power light of yours , Shukra and others,
Wondered whether you are Sun or fire or sage Sanathkumara. 30.8
Becoming slaves to your dazzling light, Sage Shukra,
And others received you who were extremely handsome,
And that blessed Asura with hairs standing erect all over his body,
And with great devotion washed your divine feet ,
And sprinkled that water capable of cleaning ,
All waters in the earth, on his head. 30.9
Though an asura , Mahabali was able to sprinkle that water on his head,
Which water is being sprinkled by Lord Shiva himself on his head,
Possibly because he was born in the clan of Prahlada,
Or possibly because he had carried out very many fire sacrifices,
Or possibly because he had great faith in Brahmin s,
And Oh Lord of Guruvayur , please be kind enough to protect me. 30.10
Dasakam 31 Humbling the pride of Maha Bali
(this is the continuation of Dasakam 30)
Oh Lord who cannot be defeated by any one ,
Seeing the splendorous light of your body,
That asura became happy and with an idea,
Of satisfying you and making you happy,
With folded arms told you,
“What do you desire from me?, Oh son of a Brahmin,
If you ask me for money or food or house or land,
I can assure you that I will satisfy your request.” 31.1
When you heard the words of Maha Bali ,
Indicating his great power and riches,
Though you were full of mercy,
With an aim to destroy his pride ,
You first praised the asura clan,
And requested for three feet of land ,
For if you ask for all the land ,
Would you not become a laughing stock? 31.2
Mahabali swollen with great pride asked you,
“Why are you asking for only three feet of land,
From me who the lord of the entire universe?
You are childish because you can demand the entire world,
What is the use of this small land that you are asking”
It was this pride which later made Maha Bali ,
Not even able to give the three feet that was asked for,
And for getting rid of his pride , Maha Bali,
Had to suffer chastising words as well as imprisonment,
Even though he did not really merit them? 31.3
When you told him that a person who will not be satisfied,
By three feet of land , will not be satisfied even if he gets the entire universe,
Mahabali got ready to give you the three feet and took water in his hands,
And then Oh Lord who blesses, with an intention of testing him,
You induced sage Shukra openly say “Do not give, Do not give ,
For this is Lord Hari , who takes away everything.” 31.4
Then the emperor of Asuras strongly told,
“If it is indeed Lord Vishnu himself who is begging me,
I have reached complete fulfillment of all my desires,
And I would definitely give it to him , with happiness.”,
And then though sage Shukra cursed him,
With the water given by his wife Vindhyavali,
He gave everything to you along with water, What a great surprise. 31.5
When The king of asuras without any apprehension,
Gave all that he owns to you, devas and sages caused a flower rain,
And in the sight of everybody , your divine form ,
Went on growing up to the cosmos and grew beyond. 31.6
That Brhama washed the top of your feet that reached his world,
With the water kept in his sacred bowl, and that water,
Was the one that purified all the world* and due to their joy,
Devas and Gandharwas danced and the drum was played,
By your great devotee Jambhavan, who went round the world. 31.7
*Became river Ganges
Oh God then the asuras started a war without the consent of Bali,
And they were defeated easily by your attendants who came there suddenly,
And then you told the asuras that you are the embodiment of time,
And yy whose blessing only they had earlier won in wars,
And also told them that their war was absolutely useless,
And obeying you they all left for Patala. 31.8
Facing Maha Bali who was tied by the ropes of Varuna,
Brought there by the lord of all birds, you told,
“Since you are the Lord of the world give me the third step,”
And when without hesitation or fear Maha Bali told you,
“Oh God , keep your holy feet on my head,”
Lord Prahlada himself came himself and prayed you. 31.9
You blessed Maha Bali, by saying “All that I have done was aimed,
At destroying your pride Oh Lord of Asuras,
And due to your good deeds , you have achieved everything,
And let you get a world which is much greater than heaven,
And later let you come and merge with myself,”
And Oh Lord of Guruvayur , you who got completed,
The Yaga done by Maha Bali through Shukra and others protect me. 31.10
(this is the continuation of Dasakam 30)

And measured all the words by his two steps,
My salutations to the skilful , mind stealing young lad,
And I request him to look after me who am a devotee of Vishnu.
DAsavathara Stotram (K.Padmanabha Varriar)
Kasyapathmajam , viswa roopinam , bali
madhapaham , balinameeswaram,
Vaasavanujam , baswaropamam
vamanakruthim bhavayamyaham.
5.I cherish him who took the form of Vamana,
who is the son of sage Kasyapa,
Who took the mega form, who destroyed the
pride of Mahabali,
Who is the powerful God , Who is the younger
brother of Indra and who shined like Sun.
Thottuvadheeswara Dasavathara stotram (Malayalam)
6.Maveli thannodu moonadi yaachippan,
Vamana veshathe poonda Nadhaa,
Aamayam onnum manassil bhavikkolaa,
Thottvaadheeswawara Kumbidunnen.
6.For the sake of begging three feet from Maha
Bali,
Oh Lord who assumed
the form of Vamana,
Please do not make any sorrow to be in mind,
Oh Lord of Thottuva , My salutations to you.
Prayer to protect
the son=Malayalam
Padu vanga prabhuthwa madham ullil,
Pedum youvana kalathu ivan ethum,
Kuduthayidum apathozhikkuvan,
Padu vamana murthe
vangunnen.

During the time, when he reaches youth,
With mind full of idiocy, snobbishness,
And exuberance, to protect him from any dangers,
I salute that great God Vamana with devotion.
