[43] tatas tasyāpi labdha-chidraṃ-manyasya, kūṭa-mayyā sva-kaṇḍūti-vighaṭanecchayā nikaṭam aṭatas, tad akarkaśa-mudrayā sahasā tān hitvā taṃ sa-puccha-pādaṃ gṛhītvā bhramayāmāsa |
yāvacchaḥ parivartanaṃ bhramayatā vatsasya cakre' munā
tāvacchaḥ pratipat kramān niragamad rūpāntaraṃ cāgamat |
krīḍāyāḥ phala-pātanārtham iva ca kṣipte kapitthopari
jñātṛtvaṃ naṭavat kalāṃ ca pṛthukās te tasya śaślāghire || [śārdūla]
Then, as that demon, thinking he had found an opening, approached deceitfully with the desire to have his own itching relieved, Kṛṣṇa, with a gentle gesture, suddenly stepped away from the calves, seized him by his tail and hind legs, and swung him around:
As many times as he whirled the calf around,
so many times his consciousness fled by degrees, and another form appeared;
and when he hurled him atop a wood-apple tree as if to knock down fruit in play,
those boys praised his discernment and his actor-like artistry. ||10
