Vamana - in The Ramayana

In The Ramayana

According to the Adhyatma Ramayana It is also said that Vamana is the guard of the gate of Bali's underworld realm Sutala and will remain so forever. Tulsidas' Ramayana too declares that Vamana became the "dwarpal" (gate-defender) of Bali.

It is said that Mahabali attained Moksha by atmanivedinam. Krishna in the Sri Rūpa Gosvāmī's Bhakti-rasāmrta-sindhuh says that Mahabali came to Him or attained Him. Some traditions also hold that Vamana was an avatar of Ganesha.
