Crying very fiercely, he fell down to the ground of Vrindavana and died. Trinavarta felt the baby to be as heavy as a big mountain, and he tried to get out of His clutches, but he was unable to do so, and his eyes popped out from their sockets. Baby Krishna made Himself heavy and began to weigh down the demon, catching hold of his neck. The Trinavarta demon went high into the sky with baby Krishna on his shoulder, but the baby assumed such a weight that suddenly he could not go any further, and he had to stop his whirlwind activities. During this great catastrophe, mother Yashoda could not see her baby, who was taken away by the whirlwind, and she began to cry very piteously. Within a few moments the whole area of Vrindavana became so densely dark that no one could see himself or anyone else. He picked the child up on his shoulders and raised a great dust storm all over Vrindavana, covering everyone’s eyes. At that time, a servant of Kamsa’s known as Trinavarta, as instructed by Kamsa, appeared there in the shape of a whirlwind. The occasion was Krishna’s first birthday and there was a jubilant celebration. This means that the demon Putana was washed of all her sinful activities and attained a celestial body. This aroma was due to her being killed by Krishna. The smoke emanating from the fire created a good aroma of aguru. Mother Yashoda, Rohini and other elder gopis immediately performed the auspicious rituals by taking the tail of a cow and circumambulating His body.Īfter this, all the residents of Vraja cut the gigantic body of Putana into pieces and piled it up with wood for burning. When the gopis saw little Krishna fearlessly playing on Putana’s lap, they very quickly came and picked Him up. Her fallen body extended up to twelve miles and smashed all the trees to pieces, and everyone was struck with wonder upon seeing this gigantic body. The long hair on her head was scattered all over her body. She opened her fierce mouth and spread her arms and legs all over. Thus the nightmare of the Putana witch was over, and she assumed her real feature as a great demon. As she died screaming, there was a tremendous vibration on the earth and in the sky, on the upper and lower planets and in all directions, and people thought that thunderbolts were falling. He sucked the milk-poison along with the life air of the demon.Īs Krishna pressed her breast extremely hard and sucked out her very breath, Putana fell down on the ground, spread her arms and legs and began to cry, “Oh, child, leave me, leave me!” She was crying loudly and perspiring, and her whole body became wet. But baby Krishna very quickly took the nipple in anger. She was hoping that as soon as He would suck her breast, He would die. Putana had smeared a very powerful poison on her breasts, and immediately after taking the baby on her lap, she pushed her breastly nipple within His mouth. When Putana was taking baby Krishna on her lap, both Yashoda and Rohini were present, they could not understand that she was a sword within a decorated case. Putana came to take Krishna on her lap and offer her breast milk to be sucked by Him. Putana, found baby Krishna lying on a small bed. Because of her exquisite beauty, no one checked her movement, and therefore she freely entered the house of Nanda Maharaja. The innocent cowherd women thought that she had come to see Krishna. Putana entered the county of Gokula, dressing herself just like a beautiful woman, and entered the house of mother Yashoda. Putana was a witch who knew the black art of killing small children by ghastly sinful methods. Kamsa instructed Putana to kill Krishna who was still a baby. During His kaumara age (0-5 years), Krishna killed Putana, Trinavarta, Aghasura and Bakasura.
Actually demons who are killed by Krishna are awarded Sayujya liberation i.e., merging into the impersonal Brahman effulgence of the Lord. There is no difference between the Lord’s activities of protecting the devotees and annihilating the demons since both of them are on a transcendental plane. Krishna killed all those demons exhibiting His extraordinary strength. Kamsa knew that Krishna would be the cause of his death and hence to kill Krishna, Kamsa sent many demons. Krishna was to slay Kamsa, who was the demoniac king in the Yadu dynasty. The Supreme Personality of Godhead appeared on this planet Earth for two reasons: to protect the devotees and to annihilate the demons.
