jahārāsīnam arbhakam

SYNONYMS

daityaḥ — another demon; nāmnā — by the name; tṛṇāvartaḥ — Tṛṇāvartāsura; kaḿsa-bhṛtyaḥ — a servant of Kaḿsa; praṇoditaḥ — having been induced by him; cakravāta-svarūpeṇa — in the form of a whirlwind; jahāra — swept away; āsīnam — the sitting; arbhakam — child.

TRANSLATION

While the child was sitting on the ground, a demon named Tṛṇāvarta, who was a servant of Kaḿsa's, came there as a whirlwind, at Kaḿsa's instigation, and very easily carried the child away into the air.

PURPORT

Kṛṣṇa's heaviness was unbearable for the child's mother, but when Tṛṇāvartāsura came, he immediately carried the child away. This was another demonstration of Kṛṣṇa's inconceivable energy. When the Tṛṇāvarta demon came, Kṛṣṇa became lighter than the grass so that the demon could carry Him away. This was ānanda-cinmaya-rasa, Kṛṣṇa's blissful, transcendental pleasure.
