KB 1970-1-33 / Vidyadhara Liberated and the Demon Sankhasura
Killed
33 / Vidyadhara Liberated and the Demon Sankhasura
Killed
Once upon a time, the cowherd men of Vrndavana, headed by Nanda
Maharaja, desired to go to Ambikavana to perform the
Sivaratri performance. The rasa-lila was performed during
the autumn, and after that the next big ceremony is Holi or
the Dolayatra ceremony. Between the Dolayatra
ceremony and the rasa-lila ceremony there is one important
ceremony which is called Sivaratri, which is especially
observed by the Saivites, or devotees of Lord Siva. But
sometimes the Vaisnavas also observe this ceremony because they
accept Lord Siva as the foremost Vaisnava. But the function of
Sivaratri is not observed very regularly by the bhaktas,
or devotees of Krsna. Under the circumstances, it is stated in
Srimad-Bhagavatam that the cowherd men headed by
Nanda Maharaja "once upon a time desired." That means that
they were not regularly observing the Sivaratri function
but that once upon a time they wanted to go to Ambikavana out
of curiosity. Ambikavana is situated somewhere in the Gujarat
province. Ambikavana is said to be situated on the river
Sarasvati, yet we do not find any Sarasvati River in the
Gujarat province; the only river there is
Savarmati. In India, all the big places of pilgrimage are
situated on nice rivers like the Ganges, Yamuna, Sarasvati,
Narmada, Godavari, Kaveri, etc. Ambikavana was situated on
the bank of Sarasvati, and all the
cowherd men and Nanda Maharaja went there.
They very devotedly began to worship the deity of Lord Siva and
Ambika. It is the general practice that wherever there is a
temple of Lord Siva, there must be another temple of Ambika (
or Durga) because Ambika is the wife of Lord Siva and is the
most exalted of chaste women. She doesn't live outside the
association of her husband. After reaching Ambikavana, the
cowherd men of Vrndavana first bathed themselves in the river
Sarasvati. If one goes to any place of pilgrimage, his first
duty is to take a bath and sometimes to shave his head. That is
the first business. After taking bath, they worshiped the
deities and then distributed charity in the holy places.
According to the Vedic system, charity is given to the
brahmanas. It is stated in the Vedic sastras that only the
brahmanas and the sannyasis can accept charity. The cowherd men
from Vrndavana gave cows decorated with golden
ornaments and beautiful garlands. The brahmanas are given
charity because they are not engaged in any business profession.
They are supposed to be engaged in brahminical occupations, as
described in the Bhagavad-gita -- namely, they must be very
learned and must perform austerity and penances. They must not
only themselves be learned, but they must also teach others.
Brahmanas are not meant to be brahmanas alone; they should
create other brahmanas also. If a man is found who agrees to
become a brahmana's disciple, he is also given the chance to
become a brahmana. The brahmana is always engaged in the
worship of Lord Visnu. Therefore the brahmanas are eligible to
accept all kinds of charity. But if the brahmanas receive
excess charity, they are to distribute it for the service of
Visnu. In the Vedic scripture, therefore, one is recommended
to give in charity to the brahmanas, and by so doing one
pleases Lord Visnu and all the demigods.
The pilgrims take bath, worship the Deity, and give in
charity; they are also recommended to fast one day. They should
go to a place of pilgrimage and stay there at least for three
days. The first day is spent fasting, and at night they can
drink a little water because water does not break the fast.
The cowherd men, headed by Nanda Maharaja, spent that night on
the bank of the Sarasvati. They fasted all day and drank a
little water at night. But while they were taking their rest, a
great serpent from the nearby forest appeared before them and
hungrily began to swallow up Nanda Maharaja. Nanda began to cry
helplessly, "My dear son, Krsna, please come and save me from
this danger! This serpent is swallowing me!" When Nanda
Maharaja cried for help, all the cowherd men got up and saw
what was happening. They immediately took up burning logs and
began to beat the snake to kill it. But in spite of being
beaten with burning logs, the serpent was not about to give up
swallowing Nanda Maharaja.
At that time Krsna appeared on the scene and touched the
serpent with His lotus feet. Immediately upon being touched by
the lotus feet of Krsna, the serpent shed its reptilian body
and appeared as a very beautiful demigod named Vidyadhara. His
bodily features were so beautiful that he appeared to be
worshipable. There was a luster and effulgence emanating from
his body, and he was garlanded with a gold necklace. He offered
obeisances to Lord Krsna and stood before Him with great
humility. Krsna then asked the demigod, "You appear to be a
very nice demigod and to be favored by the goddess of fortune.
How is it that you performed such abominable activities, and
how did you get the body of a serpent?" The demigod then began
to narrate the story of his previous life.
"My dear Lord," he said, "in my previous life I was named
Vidyadhara and was known all over the world for my beauty.
Because I was a celebrated personality, I used to travel all
over in my airplane. While traveling, I saw a great sage named
Angira. He was very ugly, and because I was very proud of my
beauty, I laughed at him. Due to this sinful action, I was
condemned by the great sage to assume the form of a serpent."
One should note here that before being favored by Krsna, a
person is always under the modes of material nature, however
elevated he may be materially. Vidyadhara was a materially
elevated demigod, and he was very beautiful. He also held a
great material position and was able to travel all over by
airplane. Yet he was condemned to become a serpent in his next
life. Any materially elevated person can be condemned to an
abominable species of life if he is not careful. It is a
misconception that after reaching the human body one is never
degraded. Vidyadhara himself states that even though he was a
demigod, he was condemned to become a serpent. But because he
was touched by the lotus feet of Krsna, he immediately came to
Krsna consciousness. He admitted, however, that in his previous
life he was actually sinful. A Krsna conscious person knows
that he is always the servant of the servant of Krsna; he is
most insignificant, and whatever good he does is by the grace
of Krsna and the spiritual master.
The demigod Vidyadhara continued to speak to Sri Krsna. "
Because I was very proud of the exquisite beauty of my body,"
he said, "I derided the ugly features of the great sage Angira.
He cursed me for my sin, and I became a snake. Now I consider
that this curse by the sage was not at all a curse; it was a
great benediction for me. Had he not cursed me, I would not
have assumed the body of a serpent and would not have been
kicked by Your lotus feet and thus freed from all material
contamination."
In material existence, four things are very valuable: to be
born in a decent family, to be very rich, to be very learned,
and to be very beautiful. These are considered to be material
assets. Unfortunately, without Krsna consciousness, these
material assets sometimes become sources of sin and degradation.
Despite Vidyadhara's being a demigod and having a beautiful
body, he was condemned to the body of a snake due to pride.
A snake is
considered to be the most cruel and envious living entity, but
those who are human beings and are envious of others are
considered to be even more vicious than snakes. The snake can
be subdued or controlled by charming mantras and herbs, but a
person who is envious cannot be controlled by anyone.
"My dear Lord," Vidyadhara continued, "Now since I think I
have become freed from all kinds of sinful activities, I am
asking Your permission to return to my abode, the heavenly
planet." This request indicates that persons who are attached
to fruitive activities, desiring promotion to the comforts of
higher planetary systems, cannot achieve their ultimate goal of
life without the sanction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
It is also stated in the Bhagavad-gita that the less
intelligent want to achieve material benefits and therefore
worship different kinds of demigods, but they actually get
the benediction from the demigods through the permission of
Lord Visnu, or Krsna. Demigods have no power to bestow material
profit. Even if one is attached to material benediction, he
can worship Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and
ask Him. Krsna is completely able to give even material
benediction. There is a difference, however, in asking
material benediction from the demigods and from
Krsna. Dhruva Maharaja worshiped the Supreme Personality of
Godhead for material benediction, but when he actually
achieved the favor of the Supreme Lord and saw Him, he was so
satisfied that he refused to accept any material benediction.
The intelligent person does not ask favors from or
worship the demigods; he directly becomes Krsna
conscious, and if he has any desire for material benefit, he
asks Krsna, not the demigods.
Vidyadhara, awaiting permission of Krsna to return
to the heavenly planets, said, "Now because I am
touched by Your lotus feet, I am relieved from all kinds of
material pangs. You are the most powerful of all mystics. You
are the original Supreme Personality of Godhead. You are the
master of all the devotees. You are the provider of the
planetary systems, and therefore I am asking Your permission.
You may accept me as fully surrendered unto You. I know very
well that persons who are constantly engaged in chanting Your
holy name attain release from all sinful reactions, and
certainly persons who are fortunate enough to be personally
touched by Your lotus feet are freed. Therefore I am sure that
I am now relieved from the curse of the brahmana simply by
being touched by Your lotus feet."
In this way, Vidyadhara got permission from Lord Krsna to
return to his home in the higher planetary system. After
receiving this honor, he began to circumambulate
the Lord. And after offering his respectful obeisances unto Him,
he returned to his heavenly planet. Thus Nanda
Maharaja also became relieved from the imminent danger of being
devoured by the snake.
The cowherd men who had come to execute the ritualistic
function of worshiping Lord Siva and Ambika finished their
business and prepared to return to Vrndavana. While returning,
they recalled the wonderful activities of Krsna. By relating
the incident of Vidyadhara's deliverance, they became more
attached to Krsna. They had come to worship Lord Siva and
Ambika, but they became more and more
attached to Krsna. Similarly, the gopis also worshiped goddess
Katyayani to become more and more attached to Krsna. It is
stated in the Bhagavad-gita that persons who are attached to
worshiping demigods like Lord Brahma, Siva, Indra and Candra,
for some personal benefit, are less intelligent and have
forgotten the real purpose of life. But the cowherd men,
inhabitants of Vrndavana, were no ordinary men. Whatever they
did, they did for Krsna. If one worships demigods like Lord
Siva and Lord Brahma to become more attached to Krsna, that is
approved. But if one goes to the demigods for some personal
benefit, that is condemned.
After this incident, on a very pleasant night, both Krsna and
His elder brother Balarama, who are inconceivably powerful,
went into the forest of Vrndavana. They were accompanied by the
damsels of Vrajabhumi, and they began to enjoy each other's
company. The young damsels of Vraja were very nicely dressed
and anointed with pulp of sandalwood and decorated with flowers.
The moon was shining in the sky, surrounded by glittering
stars, and the breeze was blowing, bearing the aroma of mallika
flowers, and the bumblebees were mad after the aroma. Taking
advantage of the pleasing atmosphere, both Krsna and Balarama
began to sing very melodiously. The damsels became so absorbed
in Their rhythmical song that they almost forgot themselves;
their hair loosened, their dresses slackened, and their
garlands began to fall to the ground.
At that time, while they were so
much absorbed, almost in madness, a demon associate of
Kuvera (the treasurer of the heavenly planets) appeared on the
scene. The demon's name was Sankhasura because on his head
there was a valuable jewel resembling a conchshell. Just as the
two sons of Kuvera were puffed up over their wealth and
opulence and did not care for Narada Muni's presence, this
Sankhasura was also puffed up over material opulence. He
thought that Krsna and Balarama were two ordinary cowherd boys
enjoying the company of many beautiful girls. Generally, in the
material world, a person with riches thinks that all beautiful
women should be enjoyed by him. Sankhasura also thought that,
since he belonged to the rich community of Kuvera, he, not
Krsna and Balarama, should enjoy the company of so many
beautiful girls. He therefore decided to take charge of them.
He appeared before Krsna and Balarama and the damsels of Vraja
and began to lead the girls away to the north. He commanded
them as if he were their proprietor and husband, despite the
presence of Krsna and Balarama. Being forcibly taken away by
Sankhasura, the damsels of Vraja began to call the names of
Krsna and Balarama for protection. The two brothers immediately
began to follow them, taking up big logs in Their
hands. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," They called to the
gopis. "We are coming at once to chastise this demon." Very
quickly They reached Sankhasura. Thinking the brothers too
powerful, Sankhasura left the company of the gopis and ran for
fear of his life. But Krsna would not let him go. He entrusted
the gopis to the care of Balarama and followed Sankhasura
wherever he fled. Krsna wanted to take the valuable jewel
resembling a conchshell from the head of the demon. After
following him a very short distance, Krsna caught him, struck
his head with His fist and killed him. He then took the
valuable jewel and returned. In the presence of all the damsels
of Vraja, He presented the valuable jewel to His elder brother
Balarama.
Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Thirty-third
Chapter of Krsna, "Vidyadhara Liberated and the Demon
Sankhasura Killed."

KB 34: Vidyadhara Liberated and the Demon Sankhacuda
Killed
CHAPTER THIRTY–FOUR
Vidyadhara Liberated and the
Demon Sankhacuda Killed
Once upon a time, the cowherd men of Vrndavana, headed by Nanda
Maharaja, desired to go to Ambikavana to observe the Siva-
ratri ceremony. The rasa-lila was performed during the
autumn, and after that the next big ceremony is Holi, or the
Dola-yatra ceremony. Between the Dola-yatra ceremony
and the rasa-lila ceremony there is an important ceremony
called Siva-ratri, which is especially observed
by the Saivites, or devotees of Lord Siva. Sometimes
the Vaisnavas also observe this ceremony because they accept
Lord Siva as the foremost Vaisnava. But the function of
Siva-ratri is not observed very regularly by the bhaktas,
or devotees of Krsna. Under the circumstances,
Srimad-Bhagavatam states that Nanda Maharaja and the other
cowherd men "once upon a time desired." This means that
they were not regularly observing the Siva-ratri function
but that once upon a time they wanted to go to Ambikavana out
of curiosity. Ambikavana is somewhere in Gujarat
Province, and it is said to be situated on the river
Sarasvati. Yet we do not find any Sarasvati River in
Gujarat Province, although there is a river named
Savarmati. In India, all the big places of pilgrimage are
situated on nice rivers like the Ganges, Yamuna, Sarasvati,
Narmada, Godavari and Kaveri. Ambikavana was situated on
the bank of the Sarasvati, and Nanda Maharaja and all the other
cowherd men went there.
They very devotedly began to worship the deity of Lord Siva and
Ambika. It is the general practice that wherever there is a
temple of Lord Siva, there must be another temple, of Ambika (
or Durga), because Ambika is the wife of Lord Siva and is the
most exalted of chaste women. She doesn't live outside the
association of her husband. After reaching Ambikavana, the
cowherd men of Vrndavana first bathed themselves in the river
Sarasvati. If one goes to any place of pilgrimage, his first
duty is to take a bath and sometimes to shave his head. That is
the first business. After taking a bath, they worshiped the
deities and then distributed charity in the holy places.
According to the Vedic system, charity is given to the
brahmanas. It is stated in the Vedic sastras that only the
brahmanas and the sannyasis can accept charity. The cowherd men
from Vrndavana gave the brahmanas cows decorated with golden
ornaments and beautiful garlands. The brahmanas are given
charity because they are not engaged in any business profession.
They are supposed to be engaged in brahminical occupations, as
described in the Bhagavad-gita -- namely, they must be very
learned and must perform austerity and penances. Not only must
they themselves be learned, but they must also teach others.
Brahmanas are not meant to be brahmanas alone: they should
create other brahmanas also. If a man is found who agrees to
become a brahmana's disciple, he is also given the chance to
become a brahmana. The brahmana is always engaged in the
worship of Lord Visnu. Therefore the brahmanas are eligible to
accept all kinds of charity. But if the brahmanas receive
excess charity, they are to distribute it for the service of
Visnu. In the Vedic scriptures, therefore, one is recommended
to give charity to the brahmanas, and by so doing one
pleases Lord Visnu and all the demigods.
The pilgrims take a bath, worship the deity and give
charity; they are also recommended to fast one day. They should
go to a place of pilgrimage and stay there at least for three
days. The first day is spent fasting, and at night they can
drink a little water because water does not break the fast.
The cowherd men, headed by Nanda Maharaja, spent that night on
the bank of the Sarasvati. They fasted all day and drank a
little water at night. But while they were taking rest, a
great serpent from the nearby forest appeared before them and
hungrily began to swallow up Nanda Maharaja. Nanda cried out
helplessly, "My dear son, Krsna, please come and save me from
this danger! This serpent is swallowing me!" When Nanda
Maharaja cried for help, all the cowherd men got up and saw
what was happening. They immediately took up burning logs and
began to beat the snake to kill it. But in spite of being
beaten with burning logs, the serpent was not about to give up
swallowing Nanda Maharaja.
At that time Krsna appeared on the scene and touched the
serpent with His lotus feet. Immediately upon being touched by
the lotus feet of Krsna, the serpent shed its reptilian body
and appeared as a very beautiful demigod named Vidyadhara. His
bodily features were so beautiful that he appeared to be
worshipable. There was a luster and effulgence emanating from
his body, and he was garlanded with a gold necklace. He offered
obeisances to Lord Krsna and stood before Him with great
humility. Krsna then asked the demigod, "You appear to be a
very nice demigod and to be favored by the goddess of fortune.
How is it that you performed such abominable activities that
you got the body of a serpent?" The demigod then began
to narrate the story of his previous life.
"My dear Lord," he said, "in my previous life I was named
Vidyadhara and was known all over the world for my beauty.
Because I was a celebrated personality, I used to travel all
over in my airplane. While traveling, I saw a great sage named
Angira. He was very ugly, and because I was very proud of my
beauty, I laughed at him. Due to this sinful act, I was
condemned by the great sage to assume the form of a serpent."
One should note here that before being favored by Krsna a
person is always under the modes of material nature, however
elevated he may be materially. Vidyadhara was a materially
elevated demigod, and he was very beautiful. He also held a
great material position and was able to travel all over by
airplane. Yet he was condemned to become a serpent in his next
life. Any materially elevated person can be condemned to an
abominable species of life if he is not careful. It is a
misconception that after reaching the human body one is never
degraded. Vidyadhara himself stated that even though he was a
demigod he was condemned to become a serpent. But because he
was touched by the lotus feet of Krsna, he immediately came to
Krsna consciousness. He admitted, however, that in his previous
life he was actually sinful. A Krsna conscious person knows
that he is always the servant of the servant of Krsna; he is
most insignificant, and whatever good he does is by the grace
of Krsna and the spiritual master [Cc. Madhya 13.80].
The demigod Vidyadhara continued to speak to Sri Krsna. "
Because I was very proud of the exquisite beauty of my body,"
he said, "I derided the ugly features of the great sage Angira.
He cursed me for my sin, and I became a snake. Now I consider
that this curse by the sage was not at all a curse; it was a
great benediction for me. Had he not cursed me, I would not
have assumed the body of a serpent and would not have been
kicked by Your lotus feet and thus freed from all material
contamination."
In material existence, four things are very valuable: to be
born in a decent family, to be very rich, to be very learned
and to be very beautiful. These are considered to be material
assets. Unfortunately, without Krsna consciousness, these
material assets sometimes become sources of sin and degradation.
Despite Vidyadhara's being a demigod and having a beautiful
body, he was condemned to the body of a snake due to pride.
Therefore from this incident we can learn that those who are
too proud of their material assets or who are inimical toward
others are degraded to the bodies of snakes. A snake is
considered to be the most cruel and envious living entity, but
those who are human beings and are envious of others are
considered to be even more vicious than snakes. The snake can
be charmed or controlled by mantras and herbs, but a
person who is envious cannot be controlled by anyone.
"My dear Lord," Vidyadhara continued, "now, since I think I
have become freed from all kinds of sinful activities, I am
asking Your permission to return to my abode, the heavenly
planets." This request indicates that persons who are attached
to fruitive activities, desiring promotion to the comforts of
higher planetary systems, cannot achieve their ultimate goal of
life without the sanction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
It is also stated in the Bhagavad-gita that the less
intelligent want to achieve material benefits and therefore
worship different kinds of demigods, but that they actually get
the benedictions from the demigods through the permission of
Lord Visnu, or Krsna. Demigods have no power to bestow material
profit. Even if one is attached to material benedictions, he
should worship Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and
ask Him. Krsna is completely able to give even material
benedictions. There is a difference, however, between asking
material benedictions from the demigods and asking them from
Krsna. Dhruva Maharaja worshiped the Supreme Personality of
Godhead for a material benediction, but when he actually
achieved the favor of the Supreme Lord and saw Him, he was so
satisfied that he refused to accept any material benediction.
The intelligent person does not worship the demigods or
ask favors from them; he directly becomes Krsna
conscious, and if he has any desire for material benefit, he
asks Krsna, not the demigods.
Vidyadhara, awaiting Krsna's permission to return
to the heavenly planets, said, "Now, because I have been
touched by Your lotus feet, I am relieved of all kinds of
material pangs. You are the most powerful of all mystics. You
are the original Supreme Personality of Godhead. You are the
master of all devotees. You are the proprietor of all
planetary systems, and therefore I am asking Your permission.
You may accept me as fully surrendered unto You. I know very
well that persons who are constantly engaged in chanting Your
holy name attain release from all sinful reactions, and
certainly persons who are fortunate enough to be personally
touched by Your lotus feet are freed. Therefore I am sure that
I am now relieved of the curse of the brahmana simply by
seeing You and being touched by Your lotus feet."
In this way, Vidyadhara got permission from Lord Krsna to
return to his home in the higher planetary system. After
receiving this permission, he circumambulated
the Lord and offered his respectful obeisances unto Him,
and then he returned to his heavenly planet. Thus Nanda
Maharaja was relieved of the imminent danger of being
devoured by the snake.
The cowherd men, who had come to execute the ritualistic
function of worshiping Lord Siva and Ambika, finished their
business and prepared to return to Vrndavana. While returning,
they recalled the wonderful activities of Krsna. By relating
the incident of Vidyadhara's deliverance, they became more
attached to Krsna. They had come to worship Lord Siva and
Ambika, but the result was that they became more and more
attached to Krsna. Similarly, the gopis worshiped Goddess
Katyayani to become more and more attached to Krsna. It is
stated in the Bhagavad-gita that persons who are attached to
worshiping demigods like Lord Brahma, Siva, Indra and Candra
for some personal benefit are less intelligent and have
forgotten the real purpose of life. But the cowherd men,
inhabitants of Vrndavana, were no ordinary men. Whatever they
did, they did for Krsna. If one worships demigods like Lord
Siva and Lord Brahma to become more attached to Krsna, that is
approved. But if one goes to the demigods for some personal
benefit, that is condemned.
After this incident, on a very pleasant night Krsna and
His elder brother, Balarama, who are inconceivably powerful,
went into the forest of Vrndavana. They were accompanied by the
damsels of Vrajabhumi, and They began to enjoy their
company. The young damsels of Vraja were very nicely dressed
and anointed with pulp of sandalwood and decorated with flowers.
The moon was shining in the sky, surrounded by glittering
stars. The breeze was blowing, bearing the aroma of mallika
flowers, and the bumblebees were mad after the aroma. Taking
advantage of the pleasing atmosphere, Krsna and Balarama
began to sing very melodiously. The damsels became so absorbed
in Their rhythmical song that they almost forgot themselves;
their hair loosened, their clothes slackened, and their
garlands began to fall to the ground.
At that time, while Krsna, Balarama and the damsels were so
much absorbed, almost in madness, a demoniac associate of
Kuvera (the treasurer of the heavenly planets) appeared on the
scene. The demon's name was Sankhacuda because on his head
there was a valuable jewel resembling a conchshell. Just as the
two sons of Kuvera had been puffed up over their wealth and
opulence and did not care for Narada Muni's presence, this
Sankhacuda was also puffed up over material opulence. He
thought that Krsna and Balarama were two ordinary cowherd boys
enjoying the company of many beautiful girls. Generally, in the
material world, a person with riches thinks that all beautiful
women should be enjoyed by him. Sankhacuda also thought that
since he belonged to the rich community of Kuvera, he, not
Krsna and Balarama, should enjoy the company of so many
beautiful girls. He therefore decided to take charge of them.
He appeared before Krsna, Balarama and the damsels of Vraja
and began to lead the girls away to the north. He commanded
them as if he were their proprietor and husband, despite the
presence of Krsna and Balarama. Being forcibly taken away by
Sankhacuda, the damsels of Vraja called out the names of
Krsna and Balarama for protection. The two brothers immediately
began to follow them, taking up big logs of sala wood in Their
hands. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," They called to the
gopis. "We are coming at once to chastise this demon." Very
quickly They reached Sankhacuda. Thinking the brothers too
powerful, Sankhacuda left the company of the gopis and ran in
fear for his life. But Krsna would not let him go. He entrusted
the gopis to the care of Balarama and followed Sankhacuda
wherever he fled. Krsna wanted to take the valuable jewel
resembling a conchshell from the head of the demon. After
following him a very short distance, Krsna caught him, struck
his head with His fist and killed him. He then took the
valuable jewel and returned. In the presence of all the damsels
of Vraja, He presented the valuable jewel to His elder brother,
Balarama.
Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Thirty-fourth
Chapter of Krsna, "Vidyadhara Liberated and the Demon
Sankhacuda Killed."
