KILLING THE KESI DEMON & VYOMASURA

Kesi assumes form of a terrible horse

Enters Vrindavana

A Raging wild horse

Great mane flying and hooves digging up the earth, tail

wheeling in the sky like a big cloud

Whinny and terrifying the whole world

Challenges Krishna to a fight

Krishna exhibits anger and dextrously moves around Kesi

Throws him a 100 yards away just as Garuda throws a snake

Kesi momentarily passes out

Kesi rushes towards Krishna

Tries to trample Him with legs

Legs strong, forceful and as hard as

stone

Krishna catches his legs - baffling

Later, Kesi regains consciousness

Rushes toward Krishna again, this time with mouth open

Krishna pushes his left hand into Kesi’s mouth.

Hand feels like hot iron rod.

Kesi’s teeth falls out.

Krishna’s hand inflates and begins to choke Kesi’s throat.

Kesi begins to suffocate.

Perspiring Kesi throws his legs hither and thither.

Eyeballs bulge in their sockets.

Passes stool and urine simultaneously

Vital life force expires.

Mouth becomes loose

Krishna extracts His hand without difficulty.

Krishna does not feel any surprise.

Amazement of demigods.

The feeling that “I am a great devotee &

spiritual master.”
