ENGLISH TRANSLATION
81.Then the demon ass leaped up, ran around Lord Kåñëa, and with sharp hooves pawed the earth. 82.Grabbing Him by the head, the great demon, going as fast as the mind, pulled Lord Kåñëa eight hundred thousand miles into the sky. 83.For three hours They fought in the sky. Then the demon grabbed Lord Kåñëa and jumped down to the earth. 84.For another forty-five minutes They fought on the earth. Then Lord Kåñëa laughed and cheerfully praised His demon opponent. 85.Lord Kåñëa said: O son of My devotee Bali, you are very fortunate in this life. Glory to you. Child, now you may attain liberation. 86.The sight of me is the seed of all good fortune and the cause of liberation. Now you may go to a very beautiful place, the best of all places. 87.After speaking these words, Lord Kåñëa remembered His Sudarçana-cakra, splendid like ten million suns. 88.Whirling the cakra, Lord Kåñëa threw it and easily killed a demon even Brahmä, Viñëu, and Çiva could not kill. 89.The head of the demon-devotee fell to the ground. From it a person splendid like a hundred suns appeared. 90.Gazing at Lord Kåñëa's transcendental realm and embracing Lord Kåñëa's lotus feet, the great demon attained final liberation. |
