Vamana came to the door of Bali
At the time of a sacrifice great
Asking for the humblest charity
Three short steps of land to take
The king drunk on his power n wealth
Laughed at the dreary demand
Ask for something more he said
You know not my generous hand

No, said Vamana, this would suffice
All I need is a space to squat
Where none could disturb my peace
O King, just grant me what I ask
As the Asura haughtily sealed the oath
Releasing water from his palm
Vamana grew in stature at once
All visible space to span
