At the same time, to test King Bali, Lord Vishnu came in his Vamana avatar and asked for three steps of land from King Bali, who was known as a great donor. At the same time, King Bali said yes, then Lord Vishnu measured the entire earth and sky in just two steps. King Bali realized that Lord Vishnu was testing him, then as soon as Lord Vishnu placed the third step, King Bali put his head forward.
