Pūtanā-mokṣa — The Witch Pūtanā’s Attempt and Kṛṣṇa’s Deliverance
तस्मिन् स्तनं दुर्जरवीर्यमुल्बणं घोराङ्कमादाय शिशोर्ददावथ । गाढं कराभ्यां भगवान् प्रपीड्य तत्- प्राणै: समं रोषसमन्वितोऽपिबत् ॥ १० ॥
tasmin stanaṁ durjara-vīryam ulbaṇaṁ ghorāṅkam ādāya śiśor dadāv atha gāḍhaṁ karābhyāṁ bhagavān prapīḍya tat- prāṇaiḥ samaṁ roṣa-samanvito ’pibat
就在那里,凶猛危险的罗刹女把奎师那抱在怀里,把乳头塞进他嘴里。乳头上涂满了剧毒,但至尊人格首神奎师那愤怒地用双手紧紧抓住她的乳房,用力挤压,将毒药连同她的生命一起吸了出来。
Lord Kṛṣṇa was not angry at Pūtanā for His own sake. Rather, He was angry because the Rākṣasī had killed so many small children in Vrajabhūmi. Therefore He decided that she should be punished by having to forfeit her life.
This verse describes how Pūtanā offered her poison-smeared breast to the infant Kṛṣṇa, but Kṛṣṇa firmly seized it and sucked out not only the poison but also her very life, showing His supreme power and protection.
Pūtanā came as a demoness sent to kill Kṛṣṇa; disguising herself as a nurse, she tried to murder Him by feeding poison through her breast.
Even when danger appears in an attractive form, sincere dependence on the Lord brings protection; the verse also warns against deception and harmful intent, which ultimately destroys the wrongdoer.
