had been taken, and all the gopis were overwhelmed because He had
been taken away in the dust storm. But up in the sky, the asura, being
overburdened by the child, could not carry the child far away, although
he also could not drop the child because the child had caught him so
tightly that it was difficult for him to separate the child from his body.
Thus Trnavarta himself fell down from a very great height, the child
grasping him tightly by the shoulder, and immediately died. The demon
having fallen, the gopis picked the child up and delivered Him to the lap
of mother Yagoda. Thus mother Yasoda was struck with wonder, but be-
cause of yogamdya’s influence, no one could understand who Krsna was
and what had actually happened. Rather, everyone began to praise for-
tune for the child’s having been saved from such a calamity. Nanda
Maharaja, of course, was thinking of the wonderful foretelling of
Vasudeva and began to praise him as a great yogi. Later, when the child
was on the lap of mother Yasod, the child yawned, and mother Yasoda
could see within His mouth the entire universal manifestation.
