The Liberation of Sakatasura and Trinavarta

rurudus ca tada gopyah
prema-sneha-samakulah
asru-mukhyo nanda-sunum
pasyantyas ta itas tatah
Filled with love, and their faces covered with tears, the
gopis also wept as here and there they searched for Nanda's son.
Text 32
trinavarto nabhah prapta
urdhvam vai laksha-yojanam
skandhe sumeruvad balam
manyamanah prapiditah
Going eight hundred thousand miles into outer space,
Trinavarta was troubled, thinking the infant on his shoulder was
as heavy as Mount Sumeru.
Text 33
atha krishnam patayitum
daityas tatra samudyatah
galam jagraha tasyapi
paripurnatamah svayam
The demon wanted to drop Krishna right there, but the tiny
Supreme Personality of Godhead steadfastly held his neck.
Text 34
munca munceti gadite
daitye krishno 'dbhuto 'rbhakah
gala-grahena mahata

munca—let go!; munca—let go!;
When the demon cried "Let go! Let go!" the wonderful
infant Krishna strangled and killed him.
Text 35
taj-jyotih sri-ghana—syame
linam saudamini yatha
daityo 'mbaran nipatitah
silayam sisuna saha
Then the demon merged in Lord Krishna's effulgence as
lightning merges in a dark monsoon cloud. Then the demon and the
infant fell from the sky onto a boulder.

The sound of the fallen body breaking into pieces filled all
the directions and make the earth tremble.

The weeping gopis saw the infant sitting silently on the
demon's back. They quickly brought Him to His mother, gave Him to
her, and then spoke.
Text 38
sri-gopya ucuh
na yogyasi yasode tvam
balam lalayitum manak
na ghrina te kvacid drishta
kruddhasi kathitena vai
The gopis said: Yasoda, you have no right to embrace this
child. You have no kindness. Your own words show how cruel you
are.
Text 39
prapte 'ndhakare svarohat
ko 'pi balam jahati hi
tvaya nirghrinaya bhumau
dhrito balo maha-bhaye
In that blinding darkness who took an infant from their lap
and abandoned it? You were so merciless that in that terrifying
moment you placed your own infant boy on the ground.

Sri Yasoda said: How did my child become as heavy as the
king of mountains? I don't know. That is why during the terrible
whirlwind I placed Him on the ground.

The gopis said: O beautiful one, don't lie! O Yasoda now
free from all trouble, this infant, the milk still in His mouth,
is as light as a flower!

Sri Narada said: When infant Krishna was returned the gopis
and gopas headed by Nanda became very happy and happily spoke
among themselves.

payayitva stanam muhuh
aghrayorasi vastrena
rohinim praha mohita
Yasoda took the infant, made Him again and again drink from
her breast, smelled His head, and dressed Him in nice clothes. Then, bewildered, she spoke to Rohini.

Sri Yasoda said: Fate has given me only one son. I do not
have many sons. But to that one son many dangers come at every
moment.

bhavishyat kim atah param
kim karomi kva gacchami
kutra vaso bhaved atah
Today He escaped from death's mouth. If He had died what
would have happened? What would I do? Where would I go? Where
would I live then?

Many demons who are strong as thunderbolts and terrible to see hate my son. O fate, fate, how will we be happy?

My wealth, body, palace, and many jewels are all only so my
son will be happy.

I will worship Lord Hari, give charity, do great public
welfare works, and build a hundred temples. Then my boy will be
victorious over all dangers.

andha-yashtir iva priye
balam nitva gamishyami

My son will make me happy. I will become like a blind stick
immobile with bliss. O dear Rohini, I will take my son and go to
the kingdom of fearlessness.
