Falling of the twin trees had sent a current of fear throughout Gokul and people apprehended some fearful calamity. They were sure that the demons would not let them live at peace there. So, they left Gokul and settled at Vrindavan.At Vrindavan, Krishna had sought permission of Nand Baba to accompany the Gualas (cowboys) in order to graze his calves.

At Mathura, Kans was not able to sleep in peace out of Krishna's fear afterTrinavart's death. His death looked sure and imminent. So, he sent for another demon to killKrishna.

This demon could transform himself into any creature. The demon came to Vrindavan in the form of a calf and mingled with Krishna's calves. But Krishna was able to spot the new calf before it was too long. His keen insight guided him on to reality and he alerted his brother Balram against this demon--Vatsasur. Before Vatsasur could do anything, Sri Krishna got near him slowly, caught him by the hind legs and lifting him threw him upwards. After striking against a nearby tree, Vatsasur fell down on the ground with a thud and was killed. The Gualbal (cowboys) were so pleased at Krishna's exploit that they began to dance merrily.
