Srimad Bhagvata Mahapurana: Book 10: Chapter 37: Verses 1-8
The demon Vyoma slain (by the Lord)
Sri Suka began again : Despatched by Kamsa[1] and anxious to oblige him, the aforesaid Kesi of evil, intent, for his part, went to Nanda's Vraja in the form of a colossal horse-quick as thought, with big eyes, a fearful cave-like mouth and a huge neck and resembling a large dark cloud-pounding and shaking the earth with its hoofs crowding the firmament with clouds and aerial cars dispersed by its manes and terrifying all with its neighs.[2] Placing Himself in the forefront, the Lord challenged the (diabolical) horse, that was frightening (the inhabitants of) His Vraja with its neighs as aforesaid, throwing the clouds into commotion by the hair of its tail and seeking after Him for a duel; and the animal roared loudly like a lion (when thus challenged). Beholding Him, the animal-which was not only difficult to approach and possessed of terrible speed but formidable too-turned round and ran towards Him full of rage and, drinking the heavens as it were with its (wide open) mouth struck the lotus-eyed Lord with its (hind) legs. |
