TRANSLATION

Once upon a time, Patana Raksasi, who could move according to
her desire and was wandering in outer space, converted herself by
mystic power into a very beautiful woman and thus entered
Gokula, the abode of Nanda Maharaja.

PURPORT

Raksasis learn mystic powers by which they can travel in outer space
without machines. In some parts of India there are still such mystical
witches, who can sit on a stick and use it to fly from one place to another
in a very short time. This art was known to Pitand. Assuming the
feature of a very beautiful woman, she entered Nanda Maharaja’s abode,
Gokula.
