Thinking it to be a part of the landscape of the Bṛndāvana, Kṛṣṇa's playmates and cattle entered his wide-open mouth. Kṛṣṇa understood the situation, and after a little hesitation, he also went in and killed him by choking his throat. Agha, however, attained salvation. - [Previous: v1.c5.s1.291](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dikshitar-1951.v1.c5.s1.291) - [Next: v1.c5.s1.293](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dikshitar-1951.v1.c5.s1.293) - [Up: v1.c5.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dikshitar-1951.v1.c5.s1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dikshitar-1951.v1.c5.s1.292](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dikshitar-1951.v1.c5.s1.292) · Pramāṇa
