11 - Killing of Trunavarta 

Narayana said- Once Yashoda, the chaste wife of Nanda was engaged in some household work carrying the child in her lap.

At that very moment a demon named Trunavarta arrived there in the form of a storm in Gokula. Lord Krishna realising the arrival of the demon increased the weight of his body. 

О sage, Yashoda finding herself unable to carry the weight of the child, placed him over the bed and herself went to the Yamuna.

In the meantime, the demon in the form of a storm carried the child moving him round and round. 

The demon uprooted the trees and broke the branches and then created the dust storm plunging the entire Gokula in darkness. The illusory demon created all this storm in a moment. He was then himself upset with the weight of lord Krishna and fell down on the ground. With the touch of lord Hari, the demon also achieved Vaikuntha; all his deeds were destroyed and mounted on the chariot, he reached in the Goloka. He was the king of the land and had turned into a demon with the curse of Durvasa. With the touch of lord Krishna, he reached Goloka.

О sage, after the departure of the demon, all the cowherds and cowherdesses were terror stricken. Finding the child missing from the bed all of them felt panicky and while crying they started beating the breasts. Some of them were fainted and some of them started crying. 

The people started searching for the child and they found him ultimately in the forest with his body covered with dust he was lying in an orchard of flowers. 

He was found at the bank of a tank with deep water. Getting panicky, he was crying looking towards the sky. 

Nanda at once picked up the child and carried him in his lap. Looking at the face of the child he, started crying aloud. 

Thereafter, Yashoda and Rohini also started crying looking at the child. Carrying him in their lap they started kissing his face again and again.  After performing the welfare ceremony, the child was made to bathe. Thereafter expressing delight through face and eyes, Yashoda inserted her breast in to his mouth. 

Narada said- О Brahman, why did Durvasa pronounced a curse on the king of Pandya country? You kindly think over it carefully and narrate the old story. 

Narayana said- Sahasraksha, the king of Pandya country was quite glorious, the king infatuated with passion accompanied with a hundred damsels was roaming about in a secluded place over Gandhamadana mountain, he enjoyed conjugal pleasured over the bank of the river, in the flower or chard located over the bank of the river. 

The king behaved pervertedly with the damsels injuring them with teeth and the nails while indulging in love-sports. 

The competent king taking to a thousand forms enjoyed the company of the damsel over the land as well as in water. 

Thus, all the damsels were engaged in water sport with the king in the Pusphabhadra river getting unrobed. In the meantime, Durvasa accompanied by a lakh of his pupils arrived there on his way to an abode of Shiva. 

The intoxicated king did not show due respect to the sage on his arrival. He did not get up to welcome him nor did the express anything by indication of hand or speech. 

Finding the king in such a condition, the sage was enraged and his lips started fluttering. He then pronounced a curse, "O sinful one getting deprived of the yoga you become a demon and move on to the earth. О degraded human, you will wander in the land of Bharata for lakhs of years and thereafter you will achieve Goloka. With the touch of the feet of lord Krishna.

O queen, you will go to the land of Bharata and shall be born in the houses of the people there. 

Thus, speaking the sage proceeded on to the abode of Shiva. All the compassionate pupils of the sage felt panicky. 

After the departure of the sage, the king was seated over the bank of the stream and started crying. All his beloved queens started crying due to the separation from the king. 

They said, "O lord, the best in performing of the love sport. Where shall we go without you and where shall you go leaving us." Alas, you shall not be able to enjoy the love-sport in the secluded place any further. If you do not remain the king, we shall not go to our abode. 

You shall not be able to look at your moon like face of enjoy the pleasure or your embrace. 

Thereafter remaining at the bank of the river, the queen caught hold of the feet of the king and fainted while crying. 

О Narada, thereafter the king, together with the queens entered into the fire alter reciting the name of the lotus-like feet of lord. All the gods in the heaven felt panicky at the sight. The destiny is always powerful. This has been proclaimed by the sages.

Thereafter the same king was turned to the from of Trunavarta and ultimately achieved Vaikuntha. His queen was also born in the land of Bharata. 

Thus, I have narrated the glory of Hari and have also narrated the redemption of the king from demonhood.
