We have read the story of the naughty boy Krishna being tied to a mortar by His mother Yasodha... In Sreekrishnavilasam, Sukumarakavi tries to ponder as to why the Lord had to undergo that punishment.. His mind goes back to the era of Mahabali.. Prodded by Indra and his company, the Lord approached the yajnabhoomi of Mahabali and begs for three foot-measures of land..in his shape as a small boy, and just manifests himself as Trivikrama and measures the whole universe in two feet and places the third feet on the head of Bali.. A fight follows and Bali is tied by the Varuna paasham.. the rope of Varuna and is sent to Rasathalam. The retribution for tying up the just king Bali with a rope cannot be avoided even by the Lord of the World.. So He had to submit himself to be tied by a rope by his beloved mother Yashoda..
The sloka when translated reads People would definitely beget results according to the actions embarked upon by them.. The demon king Mahabali was tied up by the Lord (in his Vamana Avataram), Even though He is the Lord of the Universe, he has to receive the fruits of his action, and hence he also accepted captivity of a rope at the hands of His mother (in Krishna avatara)
By getting tied up by the Lord, Bali gained immortality.. and we celebrate Onam in his honour today. By using the rope to tie up the Lord, Mother Yasodha also attained immortallity. Happy Onam
