After killing the Vyoma demon, Lord  Krṣṇa  released all His friends from the caves of the mountain. He was then praised by His friends and by the demigods for these wonderful acts. He again returned to Vṛndāvana with His cows and friends.
Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Thirty-sixth Chapter of Krṣṇa, “Killing the Keśī Demon and Vyomāsura.”
