What does vamana mean?
- Vamana
- Vamana (Sanskrit: वामन, IAST: Vāmana, lit. dwarf), also known as Vāmanadeva ('dwarf-god'), Trivikrama ('having three steps'), Urukrama ('one of large step'), Upendra ('younger brother of Indra'), Dadhivamana (literally 'milk-dwarf'; loosely 'a mystic person'), and Balibandhana ('who fettered the demon Bali') is a Brahmin avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. Originating in the Vedas, Vamana is most commonly associated in the Itihāsa (history) and Puranas with the legend of taking back the three worlds (collectively referred to as the Triloka) from the Asura-king Bali in three steps to give back to Indra. Vamana is listed as the fifth incarnation of the Dashavatara, the ten principal avatars of Vishnu.
