Knowing about Bali’s arrival to wage war, Indra left his throne and vacated heaven as suggested by Guru Br̥haspatyācārya. Bali sat on the throne of Indra and began to enjoy the abundant riches and started ruling.

Shri Krishnayana – 12

For a discerning seeker whose ultimate aim is liberation from the cycle of births and deaths, it is as important to have the right knowledge of His incarnations as it is to be cognizant of those that are not His incarnations. Acharya Madhwa cautions that if a person believes someone to be an incarnation of the Supreme Lord when he actually is not, such a person cannot achieve liberation.
