He was a Vidyādhara, who had been converted into a python by the curse of sage Aṅgiras. (See under Sudarśana). (22) Killed Ariṣṭāsura. (Vṛṣāsura). During this period Ariṣṭāsura, a follower of Kaṃsa, came to Ambāḍi disguised as an ox, and people got terror-stricken at the sight of the fierce ox. Kṛṣṇa engaged himself in a duel with the ox (Ariṣṭa) and killed it. (See under Ariṣṭa). (23) Killed Keśī. Kaṃsa then sent an Asura called Keśī to Ambāḍi. He approached Kṛṣṇa in the guise of a horse into whose mouth the latter thrust his hand, which began growing in size with the result that the Asura vomited blood and expired; Kṛṣṇa got the name Keśava as he killed Keśī. (Bhāgavata, 10th Skandha). (24) Killed Vyomāsura. Vyomāsura, son of Mayāsura was the last of the Asuras deputed by Kaṃsa to kill Kṛṣṇa. He joined the company of the Gopas disguised as a goat. Kṛṣṇa dragged him into a cave and killed him there. (Bhāgavata, 10th Skandha). - [Previous: c7.2690](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2690) - [Next: c7.2692](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2692) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) ## Cites (1) - [Bhāgavatapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2691](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2691) · Pramāṇa
