mama sparśa-mātrād bhavaj-jñāti-mātraṃ
vinaśyaty akasmāt tamas tejaso vā |
idaṃ jñātavān apy aghākhyāsura tvaṃ
kathaṃ mām ayāsīr itīvāha kṛṣṇaḥ || [bhujaṅgaprayātā]
athavā,
sarvāṃs tvaṃ kharva-koṭīḥ paśu-paśupa-śiśūn grastavān mām tathāpi
grastaṃ nirmātum aiṣīr iti sukhadatayā prāpam antas tvadīyam |
saṅkocād gantum icchan bahir atha bhujaga prāṇa-vargas tavāddhā
man-nirbandho' pi mūrdhnaḥ sphuṭana-kṛtitayā dhig gataḥ kiṃ vidadhyām? || [sragdharā] ity evam |

"Merely by my touch, your kind [of demon] is instantly destroyed, like darkness by light; / even though knowing this, O demon named Agha, how did you approach me?"—so Kṛṣṇa seemed to say. / Or rather: / "You swallowed all the millions of calves and cowherd boys; still, / you wished to swallow me as well, so out of eagerness to give delight I entered within you. / Then, wishing to go outside out of suffocation, O serpent, the company of your life-airs indeed—/ despite my restraint—burst through your skull and departed. Alas, what could I do?"—in this way.
