I'm cleaning up this Article, many of the points are not universally accepted facts based on puranas.

Vamana the deity is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC [1]. There is no need of moving. Please do not move without prior discussion. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 12:55, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
A fact probably worth adding to the article is that a common symbol of Vamana is a water vessel, which apparently was part of the ritual to seal Bali's promise. I found this source informative. I don't have time to add this myself right now but I can at least mention it here for reference. 121.45.43.126 ( talk) 07:31, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

The details about Vamana Dwadashi are missing in the article. Here's a reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4055:2E97:45E0:AC52:8F05:E7CB:D847 ( talk) 23:09, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
Is it male or female ? 2405:201:5003:C19F:F93D:1F24:29E:C068 ( talk) 13:59, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
He is male. Hemmingweigh ( talk) 10:57, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
"Though the episode of King Bali, associated with [the] Vamana incarnation, makes him appear anthropomorphic; the allegorical character of his three steps is hardly concealed."
Hi Chronikhiles (talk), I am posting this here per your suggestion. I take your input seriously, and would welcome a full explanation of why the above sentence should not have been deleted if you could please provide it. I was saying I didn't understand and the general reader wouldn't either as a manner of speaking, to humble myself while taking the bold step of deleting something. I was not conveying that my ignorance is cause for deletion. Below are a few of the reasons I have deleted this sentence, if you could touch on these points in your explanation. 1.) This sentence was a direct copy and past from page 24 of the source cited, which is plagiarism. 2.) The source cited was describing the avatars of Vishnu in terms of anthropomorphism versus zoomorphism, and saying that an avatar is anthropomorphic without this context changes the meaning. 3.) Page 78 of the cited source conveys a seemingly opposite meaning than the sentence that was plagiarized (that Vamana is anthropomorphic not allegory): "The first four zoomorphic Avatars betray distinct marks of allegory, while Anthropomorphic Vamana, the fifth incarnation of this list, is an enlargement of the idea of Vishnu's three strides, alluded to in the Rigveda."
Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hemmingweigh ( talk • contribs) 10:39, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello all, the first paragraph of the symbolism section has a lengthy quote from J. Roy which is not a summary of the author-- let alone a summary of the scholarship on Vamana. Does anyone disagree with deleting that paragraph because of its incoherence? Thanks, Hemmingweigh ( talk) 12:14, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
