Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Balabhadrārāma were one day, engaged in sports along with the Gopālas on the banks of river Kālindī. At that time an Asura sent by Kaṃsa got into the ranks of the cows disguised as a cow. Śrī Kṛṣṇa understood it; Balabhadra also pointed out the new 'cow' to him. Then Kṛṣṇa leisurely went towards the herd of cattle, lifted the new 'cow' by its legs and dashed it against a peepal tree. The peepal tree and the one next to it were broken, and thus ended the life of Vatsāsura. - [Previous: c7.2680](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2680) - [Next: c7.2682](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2682) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2681](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2681) · Pramāṇa
