 Krishna: The subduer of Kaliya

Author: an Amar Chitra Katha Publication

  • Following the story from Part A after the people relocated. Krishna and Balarama take cattle through the forests and defeat a demon in the form of a calf and a demon in the shape of a crane. Then there is the demon Aghasura who tricks the boys by taking the form of a serpent. Krishna defeats him.
  • Next, they confront another demon, this time in a form of a donkey, and defeat him as well. Then Krishna decides to challenge the illustrious water snake Kaliya who has 101 heads. He gives the demon an ultimatum: that if he promises that he no longer poison the water in the watering hole he will spare him. 
  • The last demon is the asura Pralamba who can disguise himself as a cowherd. He tricks the boys in a game and flies away Balarama, but Balarama fights back and kills the asura. Krishna saves the boys and cattle from fire by sucking all the flames. *pause*

 Hello, My name is Wesley Williams and I am a biology pre-dentistry major. The coolest thing about my major is that I only had to take Calculus and not go any further in math. One of the best classes I took last semester was Native American Music. It was really easy and the teacher made it very enjoyable as we learned about the music culture of different Native American tribes. One of my biggest accomplishments last semester was going on a vegetarian diet for two weeks. A few of my favorite TV shows are Snowfall, Breaking Bad, Money Heist, and Power. A couple of my favorite movies are Blue Streak, Juice, Paid in Full, and American Assassin. Some of my favorite music artists are Juice Wrld, Polo G, Money Man, and Rod Wave. I listen to a lot of different artists but those are a few that I am currently listening to a lot. Some of my hobbies are playing video games, working out, and watching TV. One thing I would like to try if I had more time is going golfing. A few of my favorite foo...
