Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

A swing made of two gopa's hands, with hands locked together, in between Krishna will sit there, and they will swing Him around, back and forth. Like this, They were playing.

They were playing a particular game, called Harinaakreedaa. Two people, in pairs, they play.

Starting from one point, they have to go up to another point. They have to hop, leap like a deer. When two people are going like this, whoever goes fast wins, and the other one loses.

This is called Harinaakreedaa.

Pralamba was supposed to carry Balaraama on his shoulders. He placed him on the shoulders, and immediately leaped up to the sky. He was like a rain bearing cloud with the moon. He was shining like that. He was a demon with a dark body, and Balaraama was fair.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 17:

Unable to bear the weight of Balaraama, as it is not easy to carry Balaraama, the demon grew his body very big, just as during rains, the rain bearing clouds will start to grow, like those clouds, he became huge in size.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 20:

O Krishna, O Krishna, I am being carried away by this demon, who is as big as a huge mountain. I don't know who is this demon. He disguised himself as a gopa and came. He is carrying me away.

Please tell me what is it that I am supposed to do now. This evil demon is carrying me and going very fast. He will take me away. Do tell me what I am supposed to do now. Balaraama asked Krishna.

Sri Paraasharar – Krishna, opening His lips and giving a nice smile, tells Balaraama, knowing his powers, knowing his valiance, with a slight smile, told like this.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 23:

Sri Krishna – O Balaraama, what is this humanly behaviour that I am seeing, you are resorting to this human behaviour. What is this? You are the protector of all, and are not known by anyone. You are Sarvaatman. Why are you resorting to this human behaviour.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 24:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Do remember that You are the cause of this entire universe. When the creation has happened, when the world has been created, and, during dissolution, when the entire thing is filled with water, with a huge ocean, ekaarnava – during both the times, You are the sole cause, Why are You not realizing this?

You are earlier to all the causes. You are Anaadi.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 25:

Why don't You realize that Myself and You, both are the cause of this whole universe. In order to eliminate all the evil, and reduce the weight of this world, we have come to this human world.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 26:

The sky itself is Your head, and all the clouds are Your hair. Your feet are all over. The fire, which is all over, is Your face. Soma is Your mind. Your breath is nothing but Vaayu. The four directions are Your four arms. This is the Vishvaroopa of Paramaatman which is being explained here.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 27:

You have got thousand faces, meaning innumerable. You are Bhagavaan, You are Mahaatma. You have thousand hands, and thousand feet, bodies, meaning innumerable. You are the cause of thousands of Chaturmukha Brahmas. You are the primeval one. All the sages meditate upon You in thousands of ways.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 28:

No one knows Your divine form. All the gods worship You, Your avataara roopa.

Why don't You realize that the whole world merges unto You only during pralaya.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 29:

O Anantamoorte, existing in innumerable forms. You are bearing the earth, and because of that, earth is able to bear all the movable and immovables here. You are supporting the earth. Nimesha and other kaala roopa are also You only. You only, in the end, withdraw unto You, this whole world.

Krishna is reminding Balaraama of His real nature.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 30:

The Badavaagni consumes all the waters. And then it becomes hima (snow) in the cold season. When the sun rays fall on the snow, that only becomes water. This is the cycle told here.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Supported by the wind, the Badavaagni consumes all the waters from the ocean. After that, it becomes snow. The rays of the Sun, falls on the himaadri. During summer, again having come in contact with the sunrays, it melts and again becomes water.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 31:

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

In the same way, this whole world was withdrawn unto You, just like the Badavaagni consumes all the waters. And under Your own control, when You want to engage in creation, in every kalpa, one after the other, the world is again created.

During pralaya, You withdraw the whole world unto You, and during srushti, again, You create from You. This cycle is explained so. You are the creator. Krishna is reminding Balaraama of His divine nature.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 32:

You and me both are the sole cause of this whole world. For the purpose of the world, in order to do all Our avataara kaaryaas here, we have come as two here.

It was told in the beginning itself, that two amshas, two hairs – one white and one black are there. Balaraama is the white amsha, and Krishna is the dark amsha. They are Bhagavat amshaas only.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 33:

O incomparable divine Balaraama, do kill the demon. Thinking that You have incarnated here just like a human, do good to all Your relatives.

Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary:

Though I have reminded You of Your divine form, and divine powers, just acting as though You are a human only, You can kill the demon.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 34:

Sri Paraasharar – O Maitreya, thus reminded of His divine nature by Krishna, Balaraama smiled, and started to torture that Pralamba.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 35:

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 36:

The eyes and all came out of his face, with blood pouring out, after that, the demon fell on the ground and died.

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 37:

Having seen this fearful demon Pralamba being killed by Balaraama, with that wonderful act, all the gopaas feeling extremely joyous and happy, praised Him a lot. They praised Him as "O You have done a great job, You have done a great job".

Sri Vishnu Puraana – Amsha 5, Chapter 9, Shloka 38:

Being praised by all the gopaas like this, having killed the demon Pralamba, both Balaraama and Krishna came back to Gokula again.

This completes Chapter Nine.

Sri Paraasharar is narrating how the Sharat kaala, autumn was looking, it was the most wonderful sight. How the season changed over from the rainy season, and what changes it brought.
