Text 9] The Killing of the Demon Trnavarta 51
soon as the crying baby had kicked the cart’s wheel, the cart had
collapsed. There was no doubt about it.
PURPORT

We have heard of people’s being haunted by ghosts. Having no gross
material body, a ghost seeks shelter of a gross body to stay in and haunt.
The Sakatasura was a ghost who had taken shelter of the handcart and
was looking for the opportunity to do mischief to Krsna. When Krsna
kicked the cart with His small and very delicate legs, the ghost was im-
mediately pushed down to the earth and his shelter dismantled, as
already described. This was possible for Krsna because He has full po-
tency, as confirmed in the Brahma-samhita (5.32):

argani yasya sakalendriya-vrttimanti
pasyanti panti kalayanti ciram jaganti
Gnanda-cinmaya-sad-ujjvala-vigrahasya
govindam ddi-purusam tam aham bhajami

Krsna’s body is sac-cid-dnanda-vigraha, or dnanda-cinmaya-rasa-
vigraha. That is, any of the parts of His dnanda-cinmaya body can act
for any other part. Such are the inconceivable potencies of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead. The Supreme Lord does not need to acquire
these potencies; He already has them. Thus Krsna kicked His little legs,
and His whole purpose was fulfilled. Also, when the handcart broke, an
ordinary child could have been injured in many ways, but because Krsna
is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He enjoyed the dismantling of
the cart, and nothing injured Him. Everything done by Him is dnanda-
cinmaya-rasa, full transcendental bliss. Thus Krsna factually enjoyed.

The nearby children saw that actually Krsna had kicked the wheel of
the cart and this was how the accident happened. By the arrangement of
yogamay4a, all the gopis and gopas thought that the accident had taken
place because of some bad planet or some ghost, but in fact everything
was done by Krsna and enjoyed by Him. Those who enjoy the activities of
Krsna are also on the platform of dnanda-cinmaya-rasa; they are liber-
ated from the material platform. When one develops the practice of hear-
ing krsna-katha, he is certainly transcendental to material existence, as
confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (sa gunan samatityaitan brahma-bhiyaya
