The Killing of Keśī and Vyomāsura; Nārada’s Prophetic Praise of Kṛṣṇa
तद्देहत: कर्कटिकाफलोपमाद् व्यसोरपाकृष्य भुजं महाभुज: । अविस्मितोऽयत्नहतारिक: सुरै: प्रसूनवर्षैर्वर्षद्भिरीडित: ॥ ८ ॥
tad-dehataḥ karkaṭikā-phalopamād vyasor apākṛṣya bhujaṁ mahā-bhujaḥ avismito ’yatna-hatārikaḥ suraiḥ prasūna-varṣair varṣadbhir īḍitaḥ
大臂奎师那从凯希体内抽出手臂,凯希的尸体此刻就像一条长长的黄瓜。主毫不费力地杀死了敌人,毫无骄傲之色,接受了半神人降下的花雨。
This verse describes how Kṛṣṇa, without surprise or strain, withdraws His arm after killing the demon, showing the Lord’s effortless supremacy and protective power in His Vraja-līlā.
The demigods praise Kṛṣṇa and rain flowers as a sign of divine approval and celebration when He removes a great burden from the earth by killing a powerful demon.
It inspires steadiness: do your duty without ego or drama, and face challenges with calm confidence, remembering that true strength is grounded in inner composure and devotion.
