bhujāpīḍanavat tasya bhāraś ca vavṛdhe śiśoḥ |
voḍhuṃ tyaktuṃ ca roddhuṃ ca nāśakad dānavādhamaḥ || [anuṣṭubh]
tadā ca mālya-haratānarhāvasthena cāmunā |
sa bhāra-hāratāṃ prāptaḥ sva-prāṇa-haratāṃ gataḥ || [anuṣṭubh]
yathā,
mālya-buddhyāhival loma-paṭala-bhrāntyā tam ṛkṣavat |
kṛṣṇo' vaveṣṭad ātmāṅgaṃ vātūlaḥ katham ujjhatu? || [anuṣṭubh]
yathā ca,
tṛṇāvarte ruddha-kaṇṭhe tac-chvāsā ruddhatāṃ gatāḥ |
tadaiva ca bahir vātās tat kiṃ tasya ta eva te? || [anuṣṭubh]

Like the strangling of his arms, the infant's weight also increased; / the lowest of demons could neither carry, nor release, nor obstruct him. / And then, in a condition unfit to steal a flower garland, / he found his burden stolen away and his own life taken. / As follows: / Thinking of him as a garland like a serpent, mistaking his mass of hair for a bear, / Kṛṣṇa clasped his own limbs around him; how could the whirlwind shake him off? / And likewise: / When Tṛṇāvarta's throat was choked, his breaths became obstructed; / at that very moment the winds outside ceased—were they indeed his very breaths?
