Kans was now fully aware to the prowess of
Krishna but the foolish fellow was not ready to give up his evil ways.
He, now, approached Vyomasur's younger brother for help. This demon transformed
himself into a huge python and lay on the path along which Krishna and his
Sakhas drove their cattle to the pasture. The
Gualas, ignorant of the python, kept driving their cattle and were soon inside the
wide-open mouth of the huge reptile. They had, in fact, taken it for a cave in a hill. Moreover, they were now fearless, as they were confident of
Krishna's indomitable strength.
Krishna was coming at the rear. When he saw the wide-open mouth of the python, he called out, "friends! Stop and turn back.
You are advancing into trouble. But the Gualas did not hear his call and went on moving further in the mouth of a python. So,
Krishna ran fast and got into the python's mouth.
He began to enlarge his size so that the python might not close its mouth and devour all of them. Krishna
enlarged himself so much that the python failed to shut his mouth. On the other hand, he found it difficult to breathe. Thus the python,
Agasur, was choked to death and all the Gualas cowboys came out safe and sound along with their cattle.
