Slokam 5
In this slokam, Bali reiterates the genuineness of his offer with the assertion. He sidelines Sukras dire warning. He clearly says that “If god Himself is seeking charity from me, I am indeed completely fulfilled of my desires. I will offer this without any doubt or reservation.”
As soon as Bali Chakravarthi prepared to give the 3 steps of land that Vaamana had asked in the form of daanam, guru Shukracharya transformed himself and sat in the jug of water, blocking the water flow, that was being used for washing the feet of the Vaamana before giving the daanam. Seeing this, Vaaman took a grass strand and poked the nozzle of the jug to free the water flow. This grass strand poked Shukracharya's eye and hence guru Shukracharya became one-eyed. Because of the pain, Shukracharya came out of the jug and Bali Chakravarthi gave arghyas and washed the feet of Vaamana.
Bali requests his wife Vindhyaavaalya to wash Vamana’s feet.
The commitment of Bali to the Paramathma should be emulated by everyone of us.
