Vatsasur's murder by
Krishna gave a serious shock to Kans and his death seemed staring him in the face. So,
he sent for Pootna's brother and incited him to avenge his sister's death by killing
Krishna.
Pootna's brother transformed himself into a huge
Baak (crane) and flew to Vrindavan. He was looking for an opportunity to attack
Krishna and make short work of him in order to avenge his sister's murder. After a cool thinking, he came to the pool where the
Gualas of Vrindavan brought the cattle for a drink.
As usual, the Gualas came to the pool with their cattle. But they were highly amazed as well as
frightened to see the huge baak (crane). Some of them ran to
Krishna and told him about the
baak (crane). Krishna at once ran
to the pool and saw the baakasur that had an unusual size. He followed it, the demon in reality.
He advanced towards baakasur, who lifted
Krishna in his beak. Krishna made his body so hot that it began to emit flames and so
baaksur had to open his beak causing
Krishna to fall on the ground. Now he began to attack Krishna with his strong pointed beak.
But Krishna was more than a match for him. He caught his beak in his hands and tore it apart.
Baakasur gave nut a loud painful scream and dropped lifeless on the ground.
