Soon, Goddess Lakshmi, wife of Lord Vishnu, went to Raja Bali as a poor brahmin lady, and requested him for shelter. She regarded Bali as her brother and tied a Rakhi on to his wrist, on the ‘ Shravana Purnima’ Day.

When Bali wished to give|to administer|to allow|to convey|to grant|to relinquish} her some present, she told him, her true identity and the reason for her arrival. She asked Bali to send Lord Vishnu back to Vaikunthdham. Raja Bali requested Lord Vishnu and god Lakshmi to come back.
