Shukracharya Identifies / Eye Lost and Regained
How Did Shukracharya Identify Vamana as Vishnu
Shukracharya Sensed the Hidden Laxmi in the Heart of Vamana
Lost
In the guise of a bachelor and with deerskin on His shoulders the Lord arrived at the place where Emperor Bali was performing yagna. He demanded ground measuring three steps by Him, which was readily agreed by the Emperor. What can be that area, we might think, but the Lord is capable of doing beyond our imagination and that is what was to happen. Normally, any such grant has to be authenticated by pronouncement with water flowing from the hands. So Bali took the water pot to make the promise. His Guru was Sukracharya and he knew that the Lord had come in disguise to take away all wealth of Bali; and to prevent that Sukracharya in a bee form went and blocked the hole from which water was to flow to solemnize the promise. But the Lord knew the cause and so like dirt being removed in any block, He used a grass [dharba] to clear the block. It hurt one of he eyes of Sukracharya, in the guise of a bee, and with pain the bee fell out and water flowed, and the promise was legalized.

Seven Planets
As VAmanadeva
- I covered the entire Earth with My feet,
- all the Bhuvarloka with My thighs,
- the Swarga heavens with My waist,
- Maharloka with My stomach,
- Janaloka with My chest,
- Tapoloka with My neck, and
- Satyaloka with My head and face.
Indeed, all the planets of the universe,
including the Sun and the Moon, were encompassed by My gigantic form.

The popular Onam festival in Kerala (August - September) also has the same legend. But there Mahabali visits his erstwhile subjects on the Thiruonam day.
