take charge ef them. He appeared befere Krsna and Balarama and the
damsels ef Vraja and began te lead the girls away te the nerth. He
cemmanded them as if he were their preprieter and husband, despite the
presence ef Krsna and Balarama. Being fercibly taken away by Sankhasura,
the damsels ef Vraja began te call the names ef Krsna and Balarama fer
pretectien. The twe brethers immediately began te fellew them, taking up
big legs in Their hands. “Den’t be afraid, den’t be afraid,” They called te
the gopis. “We are ceming at ence te chastise this demen.” Very quickly
They reached Sankhasura. Thinking the brethers tee pewerful, Saikhasura
left the cempany ef the gopis and ran fer fear ef his life. But Krsna weuld
net lethim ge. He entrusted the gopis te the care ef Balarama and fellewed
Sankhasura wherever he fled. Krsna wanted te take the valuable jewel
resembling a cenchshell frem the head ef the demen. After fellewing him
a very shert distance, Krsna caught him, struck his head with His fist and
