After the battle between the gods and the demons in which a large number of Daityas and Danavas fell, had come to a close, Vali became king. He was deceived by Vishnu who once more established his supremacy over all the worlds. The god of a hundred sacrifices was once more invested with the sovereignty of the celestials.
वृत्ते देवासुरे युद्धे दैत्यदानवसंक्षये॥ विष्णुक्रान्तेषु लोकेषु देवराजे शतक्रतो।
