Text 29] The Killing of the Demon Trṇāvarta
69
for a while in the sky. Thus Trṇāvarta's attempt to kill Krṣṇa failed, while Krṣṇa,  ānanda-cinmaya-rasa-vigraha , enjoyed this pastime. Now, since Trṇāvarta was falling because of Krṣṇa's heaviness, he wanted to save himself by throwing Krṣṇa off from his neck, but was unable to do so because Krṣṇa held him very tightly. Consequently, this would be the last time for Trṇāvarta's yogic power. Now he was going to die by the arrangement of Krṣṇa.
TEXT 28
गलग्रहणनिश्चेष्टो दैत्यो निर्गतलोचनः । अव्यक्तरावो न्यपतत् सहवालो व्यसुव्रजे ॥२८॥
gala-grahaṇa-niśceṣṭo daityo nirgata-locanaḥ avyakta-rāvo nyapatat saha-bālo vyasur vraje
gala-grahaṇa-niśceṣṭaḥ —because of Krṣṇa's grasping the neck of the demon Trṇāvarta, the demon choked and could not do anything;  daityaḥ —the demon;  nirgata-locanaḥ —his eyes popped out because of pressure;  avyakta-rāvaḥ —because of choking, he could not even make a sound;  nyapatat —fell down;  saha-bālaḥ —with the child;  vyasuḥ vraje —lifeless on the ground of Vraja.
TRANSLATION
With Krṣṇa grasping him by the throat, Trṇāvarta choked, unable to make even a sound or even to move his hands and legs. His eyes popping out, the demon lost his life and fell, along with the little boy, down to the ground of Vraja.
