Little Krishna Episode 5: Fire and Fury | ISL

Once, a great demon named Pralambasura entered the company of the cowherd boys in the forest. The demon was desirous to kidnap both Balarama and Krishna.

Once, a great demon named Pralambasura entered the company of the cowherd boys in the forest. The demon who had appeared as a cowherd boy was desirous to kidnap both Balarama and Krishna. Krishna received Pralambasura as a friend although He knew his intention. Then all the boys began to play, challenging one another in pairs. Some of them took the side of Krishna, and some joined the side of Balarama, and they began to play in duel. The rule of the play was that the defeated ones had to carry the winners on their backs, imitating a horse carrying its master.

Since the party of Balarama came out victorious, the members of Krishna’s party had to carry them on their backs. Making use of this opportunity, Pralambasura carried Balarama on his back and he went far away, avoiding the company of Krishna whom he considered the most powerful of all the boys. The demon, while carrying Balarama, began to feel the burden, and thus he assumed his real gigantic form. Balarama quickly understood that he was a demon who was planning to kill Him. Immediately He struck the head of the demon with His strong fist. The demon fell down dead making a tremendous sound and blood poured from his mouth. All the boys then rushed to the spot and praised Balarama for killing the demon.
