Text 28] Deliverance of the Yamala-arjuna Trees 201
TRANSLATION
By dragging behind Him with great force the wooden mortar
tied to His belly, the boy Krsna uprooted the two trees. By the
great strength of the Supreme Person, the two trees, with their
trunks, leaves and branches, trembled severely and fell to the
ground with a great crash.
PURPORT
This is the pastime of Krsna known as da@modara-lila. Therefore
another of Krsna’s names is Damodara. As stated in the Hari-varnsa:
sa ca tenaiva nadmna tu
krsno vai déma-bandhanat
gosthe damodara iti
gopibhih parigiyate
