Avataara of Lord Krishna

Now, the Chapter Three.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 1:

Sri Paraasharar –

Being eulogized like this, carrying Lord Bhagavaan Himself in her womb, and being prayed to like this by all the gods, carrying Pundareekaaksha in her womb, who is the cause of protection of all the worlds, ...

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 2:

This is a wonderful shloka telling about the Krishnaavataara. Krishna Himself is like the Sun. He rose in order to enlighten, or make the lotus of the three worlds, in order for it to bloom, the Sun in the form of Achyuta rose. To bring enlightenment to the whole world, the Lord rose like the Sun, incarnated Himself. Devaki herself was like a Poorva Sandhyaa which leads to sunrise. Leading to the rising of the Sun of the form of Krishna, to bring enlightenment to the lotus of all the three worlds.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 3:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

That day on which Krishnaavataara happened, on which He incarnated on this world, it was most pleasant, and all the directions were without any blemish, were blemishless, pure and clear. Just like the full moon day of the moon, when the moon is fully bright, the whole world was very pleasant.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 4:

All the wise men, the jnyaanis, were extremely pleased in their minds, and all the winds became quiet. The rivers flowed very pleasantly, as the Lord incarnated in this world.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 5:

All the oceans created beautiful music, through their sounds. All the Gandharvaas sang beautifully and the hosts of Apsarases danced with joy.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 6:

The gods who were moving around in the antariksha, brought down a rain of flowers in this world, when the Lord incarnated. Fires were all burning when the Lord was born. Fires which were earlier put out because of the fear of Kamsa, all started to burn again brightly, as Lord Krishna incarnated in this world.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 7:

The noise, thunder of the clouds was very pleasant. They all brought the rain of flowers. There was support of all the worlds, when He incarnated in the middle of the night.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 8:

He was bright like the leaves of the lotus, which had just bloomed. He appeared with four arms, and seeing him having the Shreevatsa sign in His chest, Vasudeva eulogized Him.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 9:

Having praised the Lord with all the stotraas, which were very pleasant, he told Krishna thus, out of fear of Kamsa.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 10:

Vasudeva – O Lord of Lords, carrying Shanka, Chakra, Gadaa, You are born here. Be pleased and withdraw this divya roopa, this wonderful form of Yours, please withdraw it, because it is beyond this prakruti mandala, it is apraakruta.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 11:

If Kamsa comes to know that You are incarnated, he will hurt You, he may even kill. He will kill You if he comes to know that You are born in my place. He will hurt me. Please withdraw this form of Yours which is apraakruta.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 12:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Devaki said – O, the whole world is Your form only. You have got innumerable forms. Even being in the womb, You are supporting all the worlds. Be pleased, O Lord of Lords. Out of Your own sankalpa, maayaa, (or aashcharya cheshtita) You have taken this form of a child. This wonderful act of Yours, nobody can comprehend that You have taken this form of a child here.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 13:

Please do withdraw this form of Yours, having four arms. Let Kamsa not know that You have incarnated here. Diti janma is daitya, and Kamsa was born to a daitya.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

In Harivamsha, it is said that there is a daitya by name Dramida, who impregnated Ugrasena's wife, without anyone knowing, and that is how Kamsa was born.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 14:

Sri Bhagavaan said – Earlier, you had praised me, you had done tapas, and had asked Me for a boon, which was that you wanted Me to be born as your child. See Me as being born as your child. That prayer of yours has fructified today, has come to fruition today, Now, I am born in your womb.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

In Svaayambhuva Manvantara, they had done tapas, as Prushni and Sutapa. To them, Bhagavaan was born as Prushnigarbha. They had prayed that He should be born in three janmaas. The next janma was that of Vaamana, when Prushni and Sutapa were born as Aditi and Sutapa, Bhagavaan was born as their child Vaamana. Now, Aditi and Kaashyapa have become Devaki and Vasudeva, and Bhagavaan has incarnated as Krishna. This is told in Srimad Bhaagavata. Because Vasudeva and Devaki say that "Withdraw Your four arms", till the killing of Kamsa, Krishna is seen with only two arms. But, in reality, He always had chaturbhuja only, but He had not revealed all the four arms. He had revealed only two bhujas till killing Kamsa. After that, He is seen with chaturbhuja only. This chaturbhuja is seen in Naraka, Shishupaala, Pundraka killings also.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 15:

Sri Paraasharar – Bhagavaan says this to Devaki and then keeps quiet. Vasudeva takes Krishna and moves out.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 16:

When Vasudeva (Aanakadundubhi) started to carry Krishna, and go out of Mathura, all the security people who were guarding the prison, they all went to deep sleep, because of the Yoga nidraa, the sankalpa of Bhagavaan. The dvaarapaalakaas of Mathura also went into deep sleep. Vasudeva started to move out; they all went into deep sleep.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 17:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

There was heavy rain at that time, the clouds were pouring down. There was a lot of noise. When Vasudeva was carrying child Krishna, Aadishesha himself appeared and covered Vasudeva completely, and followed him.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 18:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

The Yamunaa river was very deep, had many whirlpools, hundreds of them. When Vasudeva was carrying Vishnu, it was just as deep as his knees, which was very deep otherwise. It became knee deep for Vasudeva, because he was carrying none other than the Lord of Lords, Vishnu.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 19:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

When he was going there, on the banks of Yamunaa, he saw Nanda and other old gopaas, who had come there in order to pay taxes to Kamsa. But, he was unseen by them. Then never saw Vasudeva carrying Krishna and Aadishesha covering him. Vasudeva crossed the Yamunaa river, which became knee deep for him – all these things they never saw. This was the maayaa of Vishnu.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 20:

At the same time, Yashoda was also covered with mohaa, and went into deep sleep. Everyone went into deep sleep, because of Bhagavaan's sankalpa, she gave birth to a girl child.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 21:

Vasudeva placed Krishna there, and picked up the girl child which was born there. He took that girl child and came quickly back to where he was, with Devaki.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 22:

When Yashoda woke up, she saw that there was a beautiful, wonderful boy, born to her. He was of the colour of the leaves of the Neelotpala, the dark blue lotus, and He had such a wonderful hue, and she thought that He was born to her only. And she was extremely happy.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 23:

Vasudeva brought back the girl child, and placing that child next to Devaki, he came back to his original position.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 24:

Immediately, that child started to cry. All the security guards who had gone into deep sleep, they heard the cry of the child, and immediately woke up. They rushed to Kamsa and told him that the eighth child is born.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 25:

Kamsa immediately picked up the child, and Devaki was telling "Leave the child, leave the child", her voice was choked completely. She was overcome with so much emotion and grief that she was crying and begging to Kamsa, to leave the child. But, he never listened to her.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 26:

He threw the child on the floor. Immediately, the child went to the sky, and became big, with eight arms, each arm carrying a weapon, that child took on a wonderful form in the sky.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 27:

Being extremely angry, that child, which went into antariksha and took on a wonderful huge form, and said loudly – "What is the purpose of killing me, one who kills you is already born".

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

One who kills you is already born.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 28:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

When you were Kaalanemi, he killed you. Get some assurance and do what is good for you. Think of doing something good to protect yourself, live properly. Otherwise you will be killed by Him, one who will kill you has already come into this world.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 3, Shloka 29:

Having told thus, the Devi, Yoganidraa, who had taken this form, wearing the most wonderful garlands, gandha, clothes, ornaments, as Kamsa was seeing, just went off being eulogized by all the siddhaas, she just went away.

This completes Chapter Three.

This is the Krishnaavataara ghatta, the most wonderful part where Krishna incarnated.

Kamsa's Discussion with the Asuraas Now,

Chapter Four.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 1:

Sri Paraasharar –

Kamsa, being very agitated in his mind, because he did not know what to do, he called all his other asuraas, powerful asuraas who were with him – Pralamba, Keshi, etc. and told them thus –

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 2:

Kamsa – O Pralamba, Keshi, Dhenuka, Pootanaa, Arishta, and others, listen to what I am telling, very carefully.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Pralamba and others, listen to what I am telling.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 3:

All the gods, the bad ones, are making all kinds of efforts to kill me. They have been troubled with my power, and strength. I don't care at all for them, as I am all powerful and valiant.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 4:

What can Indra do, who is very weak, does not have any power. What can Rudra do, who roams alone? Even Hari, what can He do, who finds some fault and kills the demons all the time, what can He do to me? I am so powerful.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 5:

What can the Dvaadasha Aadityaas, the Ashta Vasus do? All these are weak, they don't have any power. What can all the fires do? Even other gods, what can they do to me? They cannot even harm me. I have won over all of them with my strength and powers.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 6:

Amarapati Indra wanted to wage a war with me, he came, and turned his back and ran away, carrying the arrows in his back itself.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 7:

When Shakra, Indra, prevented rains in my land, country, at that time, I used my arrows and tore apart all the clouds, and we had rains as much as we wanted. I am so powerful, and the devaas cannot do anything to me.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 8:

All the kings on this earth, what can they do? They are already very scared of my powers. They all bow down to me, and except my father in law, Jaraasandha.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 9:

I just don't care of the gods, I neglect all the gods, O daityaas. I laugh at all the efforts that they are making. Whatever efforts they are putting, looking at that, I laugh at them. What they are doing is laughable.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 10:

Even then, because they are all bad people, we have to put some effort to trouble, harm them. We have to put effort to trouble them.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 11:

In order to ridicule all the gods, we have to kill all those who are very successful, those who are performing yaaga, in this world.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 12:

And the child which was born to Devaki, that one who is going to kill me, is already born; and even earlier, he had killed me. He is now born again is what the child told me.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 13:

So, we have to have an eye on all the children also, and wherever you see some child having some extraordinary powers, you have to kill that child also.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 14:

Having ordered all the demons who were there with him, he quickly entered into his house, and he freed Vasudeva and Devaki from imprisonment.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 15:

Kamsa continued – I have troubled you unnecessarily, and this has served no purpose. I have killed all your children. Someone else, I don't know who, is already born in order to kill me.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 16:

Don't feel bad because all your children were destined to die like that. They had some defect, and because of their karmaas, they were destined to be killed like that.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 4, Shloka 17:

Sri Paraasharar – Having told them like that, and still having doubts about who is born to kill him, he was always troubled in his mind, he entered into his house after that.

This completes Chapter Four.

We just saw Chapter 4 of Amsha 5, where Kamsa recalls the words of Durgaa that the person who kills him is already born, so he calls all the asuraas Pralamba, Dhenuka, Keshi, Pootanaa, and others, and tells them to be cautions and watch out, and says that he is not scared of Indra or Hari. He is so arrogant with his powers that nobody can do any harm to him. He says that even then, we have to be very careful and cautious, because the gods are always trying to kill him. Any child, if seen with extraordinary powers, just kill that child, he instructs them. Then he frees Devaki and Vasudeva and then retires. The story of Krishna continues now, the Krishnaavataara.

॥ अथ पञ्चमो अध्यायः ॥

Nandagopa's Prayer to Lord Naaraayana Now,

Chapter Five.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 1:

Sri Paraasharar –

Vasudeva approaches Nanda, and having seen him, is very happy. Nanda is also very happy, and says that a son is born to him. Vasudeva also tells him that "It is your good luck, good fortune that you have got a son".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 2:

Vasudeva says – "Even in old age, you have got a son, you are extremely fortunate".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 3:

Vasudeva says –

"You came to pay the tax and other things to Kamsa, and now that you have finished your work, you should not stay any longer. Those who have money should not stay longer than needed".

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

The yearly taxes and others that you have paid. When the king comes to know that someone is very rich, they may tax more money, and it is not a good thing. That was not the real intention of Vasudeva. Why he said that is that Krishna is there, and Nandagopa has to go there, and look after him, so that he should not stay here longer, because Kamsa may start thinking of doing some harm. That was the real intention of Vasudeva.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 4:

For whatever purpose you came here, that is already done; you please return quickly to Gokula.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 5:

Vasudeva says – "Even my son is born to Rohini there, please do look after him just as you look after your son, and protect him".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 6:

Having told thus, all the people – Nandagopa and others returned back in their carts, carrying their things, having paid the taxes.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 7:

Now, Pootanaa's story comes. When they were staying in Gokula, Pootanaa, who was sent to kill all the children, came there. Krishna was sleeping. She took Krishna and wanted to feed him.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 8:

Whomever she breast-fed, all the children were killed within no time.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 9:

What Krishna did is told here. Krishna immediately caught hold of her breast powerfully, and pulling it away, He sucked the very life of Pootanaa, having been very angry with her. He drank the milk along with her life also.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 10:

When Krishna did like this, she cried out very loudly, and all her muscles broke away, because of the pain she felt at that time. She fell on the ground, and she looked very ferocious.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 11:

Having heard that sound, that cry of Pootanaa, all the people who were there in Vraja woke up, and saw this big demon in the form of Pootanaa, and Krishna sitting next to her.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 12:

Immediately, Yashoda came, and got very scared, he immediately picked up Krishna, and brought the tail of a cow, which is a good sign, and with that go-puccha, she removed all the baala dosha, as she was so scared that such a thing has happened. She thought that the child must be very scared.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 13:

Immediately, Nandagopa brought the cowdung and put the tilaka on the forehead of Krishna, in order to protect Krishna, and he also started to pray to the almighty to protect Krishna.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 14:

Nandagopa – Let Hari, who is the creator of all the beings in this world, and from whose navel (naabhi) – the Lotus which came out, the whole world was created, protect You.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 15:

Nandagopa prays to the many avataaras of Hari. On whose teeth, the Varaaha roopa dhaari pulled up the earth, that Keshava, let Him protect You. He prayed to Keshava.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 16:

The Nrusimha roopee Janaardana who incarnated as Nrusimha to protect Prahlaada, and who, just with His nails, killed Hiranyakashipu, by tearing away his chest, let Him protect you.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 17:

That Vaamana, let Him protect You all the time. Who, within a moment took three strides, and measured all the three worlds. He occupied all the three worlds, in no time. And also all His weapons also grew like that.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 18:

Let Govinda protect Your head. Let Keshava protect Your neck. Let Vishnu protect Your stomach and secret parts. Let Janaardana protect the knees and feet.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Nandagopa prays to protect Krishna.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 19:

Let Your face, hands, elbows, Your mind, all the sense organs, Let Naaraayana who is avyaya, protect You. Naaraayana, who is the Supreme Lord, let Him protect You.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 20:

Let Bhagavaan Vishnu, who is holding all these divya aayudhaas, the weapons, bow Shaarnga, Chakra, Gadaa, holding all of these, and with the blow of His conch, the Shanka Naada itself, let the preta, kooshmaanda, raakshasa, and all of these, let them be destroyed.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 21:

Let Madhusoodana, who is in Vaikuntha protect You in all the directions, and also in between in the inter directions, any harm coming from any of these directions. Let Hrusheekesha protect from any harm coming from the sky. On this earth, let Maheedhara protect You.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 22:

Sri Paraasharar –

The prayer that Nandagopa offered to Lord Hari, invoking all His incarnations, in order to protect Krishna and do all good to Him. There was a small bed which was made, in that cot itself; Nandagopa let Krishna to sleep on top of that bed.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 5, Shloka 23:

The gopaas, when they saw that huge body of Pootanaa, were extremely terrified, and were very surprised that such a thing has happened to Krishna. With this, Pootanaa's story is completed.

This completes Chapter Five.

***

॥ अथ र्षषठो अध्यायः ॥

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 1:

Sri Paraasharar –

Below the cart, they had made a small bed for Krishna, and He was sleeping there. He felt hungry, and He wanted to be fed with milk. He lifted His small feet and kicked the cart. He cried loudly, asking for milk.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 2:

As soon as child Krishna kicked the cart, with His feet, immediately, that whole cart turned upside down, and all the vessels kept on that, were completely broken, destroyed.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

The pots which were kept, and instruments kept on the cart were destroyed. A raakshasa by name Mura had come in the form of that cart, Shakata, and nobody knew that. That Shakata was completely shattered into pieces, having been turned upside down. That his name is Mura is told in Harivamsha, he is known as Shakataasura.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 3:

All the people around there, the gopaas and gopis, were suddenly disturbed, having heard this great sound, of this cart getting totally destroyed, and all the pots thrown away and broken, and they made a lot of noise. They did not know what had happened. Immediately, all of them came and saw the boy lying on His back there.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 4:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

When they came there, they asked – "Who did this, who did this?", "Who was responsible for turning this cart upside down like this?". The kids who were playing around there, they said that this baby who is lying here, did like this – that baby only kicked and did all of this.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 5:

The baby was crying, and having cried, kicked the cart with the feet. Just with that kick itself, this cart turned upside down fully and broke, nobody else did anything.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 6:

The gopaas were all surprised and shocked, looking at this. Nandagopa immediately took the child, and he was also shocked.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 7:

Yashodaa came immediately and did poojaa to the Shakata and other things which were broken, with flowers, fruits, akshataa. She had kept all those things for purpose of poojaa. She did poojaa with those things.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 8:

Vasudeva sent Garga Muni to Gokula, secretly. Secretly, without revealing his identity, without anyone knowing, Garga Rishi, did naamakarana samskaara to the boys.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 9:

Garga Rishi named the elder one as Raama, and the younger one as Krishna.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 10:

After some time, very soon, they started to move around, crawl around, supported by their hands and knees, both Raama and Krishna.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 11:

Their bodies got smeared with cow dung and ashes of burnt cow dung, and they started moving around, crawling around everywhere, and Yashoda, Rohini could not control them at all.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 12:

They started to walk. They went to the cowshed, and started playing there, and pulling the tails of the just born calves which were there. They started playing like that, and making a lot of mischief all around.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 13:

When they became so mischievous, roaming around together, making all kind of mischief, Yashoda could not control them at all. She could not do anything, it was beyond her powers and capability. What she did one day ...

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 14:

Then, she brought a small rope and tied Krishna to a stone, the grinding stone used for hand grinding. Then she told Krishna who was very mischievous, being very angry.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 15:

"O naughty boy, if you are capable of moving around, go anywhere, and let me see how You will go now. You are becoming very mischievous". Then she left Him there and attended to her usual work.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 16:

When she got so angry and went off, this boy Krishna started to pull the stone, and went in between two trees – Arjuna trees which were there, and started to move in between them. His eyes were so beautiful as the petals of a just bloomed lotus.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 17:

When He started to pull the stone which got stuck in between the two trees, the very tall trees were totally uprooted, when He pulled the stone which got stuck.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 18:

When the "Katakata" noise of the falling of the trees which got uprooted, was heard by the people of that Vraja, they came immediately and saw these huge trees having fallen on either side.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 19:

This tells beautifully as to how Krishna looked at that time. He was having a beautiful smile on His face, and when He smiled like that, the small teeth which were just starting to grow, were shining like anything in His mouth. They saw that boy in between the trees, having been tied with the rope. She had tied to stone to His stomach very tightly.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 20:

From then on, He came to be known as Daamodara, because she tied Him around His stomach with the rope.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 21:

All the elderly people, the gopaas, gathered together, started to think about what to do, they were extremely scared by looking at all these evil signs which were happening. They were terrified with all the things which happened – Pootanaa, Shakataasura, now the Yamalaarjuna trees, such huge trees being uprooted; all these unusual and startling evil signs which they saw. They were very scared.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 22:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

"Staying here is of no use, we should not stay here any more. Let us leave this place and go to Vrundaavana. There are many evil signs which are being seen here. They are causing destruction, and they are not good signs, let us leave this place and go to Vrundaavana", they thought.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 23:

The big raakshasi Pootanaa was killed. Shakata which got upside down and broke, and raakshasa Mura was killed. Without any winds or anything, two huge trees fell. These are all not good signs, and there could be more such evil things happening, there could be more destruction, and cause great harm to all of us. They thought like this.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 24:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

This place is called Bruhadvana, from here, let us go to Vrundaavana. Let us go immediately to Vrundaavana from here. Before all these evil signs are going to destroy this Vraja completely and bring a lot of harm to us, let us leave this place and go. The unusual changes which happened in all the movables and immovables – that is supposed to intensify in seven nights; before it happens, if one leaves the place, then there is no dosha in that. They decided to leave immediately and go to Vrundaavana.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 25:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Having decided like that, they all went home and told all the people living in Vraja to "Let us all pack our things, everything which is there in our houses, and go immediately, don't delay anymore". They told their families.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 6, Shloka 26:

Immediately, taking all their cows and all of those, taking all the things that they had in their carts, they took everything and left that place, along with all the people of Vraja.
