Vyoumasur Moksha Lila

Vyomasur moksha Lila

Vyomasur moksha Lila

Hearing of Baakasur's murder, Kans felt the ground slipping from under his feet. Lost in deep worry, he began to exert even harder for his safety. He contacted Vyomasur, son of Maidanav, the chief of the demons and entrusted to him the task of killing Krishna.

Vyomasur assured Kans of his success and made for Vrindavan. Reaching there, he took stock of the situation carefully. Then he chalked out a plan and transforming himself into a Guala, joined the company of Krishna's Sakhas. After winning their confidence, he suggested a game to be played. In this game, most of the Guala were to act as sheep and a few as their guards. As for Vyomasur (as guala), he was to act as a thief to steal the sheep away. So, he began to take away the sheep-Gualas (cowboys) and shut them in a cave. Not only this, he carried away some guard-Gualas (cowboys) as well. Thus he was able to shut up most of the Gualas in the cave. When only four or five Gualas were left behind, Krishna became doubtful and he followed the demon stealthily. Seeing him shutting a Guala in a cave, Krishna saw through his trick and fell upon him. Vyomasur came to his real form and a fierce combat began. Krishna gave him such a terrible blow that he fell down lifeless. Then Krishna set all the Gualas free and they all returned to the pasture.
