The grazing of calves by Sri Balarama and Sri Krishna and the salvation of Vatsasura

Srinardji says - Rajan! Hearing of Sannandaki, Mahamana Nandaraja, along with all the Gopas, was very happy and agreed to go to Vrindavan. Yashoda, Rohini, and all the Gopanganas, armed with horses, chariots, valiant men, and chariots, rode to Vrindavan with their sons Balarama and Krishna, the most intelligent Nandaraja. They were accompanied by the Gaonka community. There were many people walking, including old people, children, and servants. During the journey, there were sounds of conch shells and roars. Many singers were chanting hymns of Nandrajaka. . 1 - 4.

Gopa Vrishabhanuvar went to Vrindavan with his wife on an elephant, taking his daughter Radha in the numbers, listening to the chants of praise from the singers, accompanied by the melodious sounds of the mridangam, tala, veena, and venu. They were also accompanied by many gopas and gaonka communities. Nanda, Upananda, and the six Vrishabhas also went to Vrindavan with all their attendants. All the Gopas entered Vrindavan with their attendants, formed separate groups, and started living here and there. Vrishabhanu built for himself a city called Vrishabhanupura (Barsana), which was in the shape of a four-yojana broad fort. There were trenches built around it. There were seven gates to the fort. Inside the fort, there was a large hall. A number of lakes adorned the fort. The Manohar Highway was constructed intermittently. A thousand things adorned the old man. 5-10 | (Vrindavan Khand Chapter 1 to 5)

Sri Krishna used to visit Nandanagar (Nandgaon) and Vrishabhanupur (Barsane) playing with children and developing love for Gopanganas. The king! A few days later, Balarama and Sri Krishna, in all their glory and grace, started grazing calves in Vrindavan. The two brothers, along with Gwal-Hul, used to go to the village limits and graze calves. Near Kalindi, in the niches and grooves adorned on its sacred bridge, Balarama and Krishna would play hide-and-seek games and, in some places, crawl and enjoy themselves in the forest. Both of them were adorned by maidens in their loins. The manjeer and noopur of his feet waved sweetly as he played. Nilambar adorned the limbs of Balarama and yellow was worn on the limbs of Krishna. The two brothers were adorned with necklaces and headdresses. Sometimes children were played with kites (belvas) and sometimes flutes. Some of the bulls ran with their mouths echoing the kardhani's chirping, and they were accompanied by the two brothers - Ram and Shyam - who ran away, following the shadow of the birds. The head was adorned with peacocks and adorned with flowers and pallavas. 11-17. .

Nareshwar. One day, in their herd of calves, Vatsasura, sent by Kansa, came and found them. Krishna came to know of this and went to him. He was seen repeatedly running among the giant bulls with his tail raised on all sides. He suddenly came and hit the shoulders of Lord Krishna with his hind legs. The other Gopa children fled, but Krishna took hold of both his legs and rolled him over and knocked him to the ground. Srihari then picked him up by the hands and threw him onto the Kapittha tree. Then the demon died in an instant. Due to its impact, the great Kapittha tree itself fell down, knocking down other trees. It was a wonderful thing that happened. Surprised by the surprise, all the goblins started greeting Kanhaiya there. The gods stood up in the sky and showered flowers, cheering. The vast glow of the demon was absorbed into Shri Krishna. 18-23 |

"Munna," asked Bahulashva. This is quite a surprise. Tell me, which noble person appeared earlier in the form of this Vatsasura, who merged with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Shri Krishna? . 24.

Srinardji said - Rajan. Murke had a son, who was known as Mahadaitya 'Pramil'. He had also conquered the gods in battle. One day he went to the ashram of sage Vasistha. There he saw the sage Homadhenu Nandini. Wanting to get her, he disguised himself as a Brahmin and went to the sage and begged for the beautiful cow. The sage was divine; therefore, knowing everything, he remained silent, saying nothing. Then the cow said it herself. 25-26 |

Sreenandini is the dialect of Durmate. Thou art a demon, the son of the dead, yet hast come as a Brahmin to kidnap the cowherd of sages; so be thou the calf of the cowherd. 27.

Says Srinardji - Rajan. That Murputra became the great Govatsa as soon as Nandini said so. Then he circumambulated and bowed to the sage Vasistha and the cowherd and said, "Protect me, protect me." 28.

The Gau dialect is Mahadaitya. At the end of the Dwapara, now you will enter the calves of Lord Krishna, at that time you will be liberated. 29. (Vrindavan Khand Chapter 1 to 5)

It is because of the same curse and boon, says Shrinaradji, that the most perfect fallen god, Lord Krishna, was directly merged with the daitya Vatsasura. There is nothing surprising about it. 30.

Thus was completed the fourth chapter under the Sri Vrindavanakanda in the Srigarghasamhita, the Moksha of Vatsasura. 4.
