TRINAVARTA OR THE WHIRLWIND.

*SKANDHA X. CHAP. 7.*

The child was once on the lap of Yasoda when he suddenly became so heavy

that Yasoda had to throw him on the ground. The Asura Trinavarta or

Whirlwind made an attack on the child and a violent dust storm overtook

Gokula. The Asura had scarcely raised Krishna to a certain height, when

his weight almost crushed him to death. Krishna did not let go his hold

and the Asura breathed his last and fell dead. Yasoda kissed her son

again and again, but when he opened His mouth, the mother saw the whole

Universe within it.
