Sukracharya advised Dhundu to perform 100 Aswamedha Yagas.

Dhundhu started performing the Yaga.

Scared Devas, catching the whiff of the Homa Smoke, rushed to Vishnu seeking refuge in Him.

Vishnu in took the form of Vamana (Midget) and pretended to commit suicide near the place where the Yaga was being conducted.

The Brahmins who were conducting the Yaga, saved the Brahmin boy Vamana and asked him the reason for his attempted suicide.
