When all the cowherd boyswere playing in the forest of Vrndavana, the demon Pralambasura appeared tokidnap Kfl)a and Balarama. The asura appeared disguised in the form of acowherd boy, but Krl)a could understand his trick. Krr;Ja therefore divided all thecowherd boys into two parties. One party belonged to Balarama, and the otherparty belonged to Kfl)a Himself. Ultimately Kfl)a was defeated in this play, andaccording to the wager, the defeated party had to carry the victorious party ontheir shoulders. Krr;Ja had to carry Sridama on His shoulders, and Bhadrasena hadto carry Vrabha. The demon Pralambasura had to carry Balarama, and whenBalarama mounted his shoulders, the demon ran far away. Finally the demonbegan to expand his body to a gigantic size, and Balarama understood that he intendedto kill Him. Balarama immediately struck the demon's head with His strongfist, and the demon fell down dead as if he were a snake whose head had beensmashed.TEXTS 207-2091!11) C'll:'l l'fitOT
