For this, Lord Vishnu left his living place Vaikunth. But by this decision his wife Goddess Laxmi became very sad. She took shelter in King Bali's kingdom and approached to him as a Brahmin woman. When Shravan Poornima celebrations were going on she tied a thread on the wrist of King Bali and revealed her truth in front of him. She also told about the reason of her being there. King Bali was very much touched by the goodwill of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi and requested Lord to go back to his living place Vaikunth. King Bali sacrificed his whole kingdom for his Lord and Goddess.
