Krṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
waited in the sky. As soon as Krṣṇa with His calves and friends came out of the mouth of the demon, that glittering effulgent light immediately merged into the body of Krṣṇa within the vision of all the demigods.
The demigods became overwhelmed with joy and began to shower flowers on the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krṣṇa, and thus they worshiped Him. The denizens of heaven began to dance in jubilation, and the denizens in Gandharvaloka began to offer various kinds of prayers. Drummers began to beat drums in jubilation, the  brāhmaṇas  began to recite Vedic hymns, and all the devotees of the Lord began to chant the words, “ Jaya! Jaya!  All glories to the Supreme Personality of Godhead!”
When Lord Brahmā heard those auspicious vibrations which sounded throughout the higher planetary system, he immediately came down to see what had happened. He saw that the demon was killed, and he was struck with wonder at the uncommon glorious pastimes of the Personality of Godhead. The gigantic mouth of the demon remained in an open position for many days and gradually dried up; it remained a spot of pleasure pastimes for all the cowherd boys.
The killing of Aghāsura took place when Krṣṇa and all His boy friends were under five years old. Children under five years old are called  kaumāra . After five years up to the tenth year they are called  paugaṇḍa , and after the tenth year up to the fifteenth year they are called  kaiśora . After the fifteenth year, boys are called youths. So for one year there was no discussion of the incident of the Aghāsura demon in the village of Vraja. But when they attained their sixth year, they informed their parents of the incident with great wonder. The reason for this will be clear in the next chapter.
For Śrī Krṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is far greater than such demigods as Lord Brahmā, it is not at all difficult to award one the opportunity of merging with His eternal body. This He awarded to Aghāsura. Aghāsura was certainly the most sinful living entity, and it is not possible for the sinful to merge into the existence of the Absolute Truth. But in this particular case, because Krṣṇa entered into Aghāsura’s body, the demon became fully cleansed of all sinful reaction. Persons constantly thinking of the eternal form of the Lord in the shape of the Deity or in the shape of a mental form are awarded the transcendental goal of entering into the kingdom of God and associating with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So we can just imagine the elevated position of someone like Aghāsura into whose body the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krṣṇa, personally entered. Great sages, meditators and devotees constantly keep the form of the Lord within the heart, or
