TRANSLATION

Thereafter, Sri Krsna caught the demon by the hind legs and
tail, twirled the demon’s whole body very strongly until the demon
was dead, and threw him into the top of a kapittha tree, which then
fell down, along with the body of the demon, who had assumed a
great form.

PURPORT

Krsna killed the demon in such a way as to get the kapittha fruits to
fall so that He and Balarama and the other boys could take advantage of
the opportunity to eat them. The kapittha is sometimes called ksatbel-
phala. The pulp of this fruit is very palatable. It is sweet and sour, and
everyone likes it.
