The Killing of Keśī and Vyomāsura; Nārada’s Prophetic Praise of Kṛṣṇa
स: लब्धसंज्ञ: पुनरुत्थितो रुषा व्यादाय केशी तरसापतद्धरिम् । सोऽप्यस्य वक्त्रे भुजमुत्तरं स्मयन् प्रवेशयामास यथोरगं बिले ॥ ५ ॥
saḥ labdha-saṁjñaḥ punar utthito ruṣā vyādāya keśī tarasāpatad dharim so ’py asya vaktre bhujam uttaraṁ smayan praveśayām āsa yathoragaṁ bile
意識を取り戻したケーシーは怒りに燃えて起き上がり、口を大きく開けて再びハリに突進した。だが主は微笑まれ、まるで蛇を地の穴へ入れるかのように、左腕をたやすくその口へ差し入れられた。
FAQs
This verse describes Keśī attacking again in rage, and Kṛṣṇa calmly smiling as He inserts His arm into the demon’s mouth, showing the Lord’s effortless supremacy over evil.
Keśī charged with his mouth wide open to devour Him, and Kṛṣṇa countered by thrusting His arm inside, turning the demon’s aggression into the very means of his defeat.
When fear or hostility rushes in, remember the Lord’s calm mastery—steadiness, prayerful remembrance, and trust in divine protection help transform threats into occasions for spiritual strength.
