Kl33. Demon Bhaumasura Killed Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

KRISHNA LEELA

Indra who came to Dvaraka,
Complained against Bhaumasura,
The demon that caused trouble
To the demigods and the people.

Krishna with his wife Satyabhama,
Went to the palace of Bhaumasura,
In the severe fight that ensued,
He cut off the demon's head.

The demon known as Narakasura,
Was the other name of Bhaumasura,
He was the son of Mother Earth.
He, in the Lord's hands, faced death.

She came and prayed Krishna,
That the life of Bhagadatta,
Be spared being her grandson,
And she begged for His pardon.

Her grandson He then released,
With His mercy she was pleased,
Thousands of captive girls,
He released them from the jails.

Indra, in his abode, received them,
And he profusely thanked them,
But when they brought a Parijata tree,
He never allowed them free.

In the fight that ensued then,
Krishna, as usual, had won,
Indra felt for his action
And he was taught a lesson.

The 16100 princesses freed
From the jails He married,
In 16100 forms He was seen,
Thus He fulfilled their desires keen.
