Having assumed this wonderful python\u2019s body, he spread his mouth like a big mountain cave and lay down on the road, expecting to swallow Krsna and His cowherd boyfriends.<br \/>\nThe demon expanded his mouth from land to sky. At first the boys thought the demon was a statue, but after examining it, they saw that it was in reality a big serpent lying down on the road and widening its mouth. Fully confident of Krsna\u2019s protection, the boys marched into the mouth of the gigantic serpent with their calves-and they all died.<br \/>\nThen Krsna considered how the demon should be killed and how He could revive the boys and calves. Finally He entered the mouth of the demon and immediately began to expand Himself within the demon\u2019s throat. Although Aghasura had a gigantic body, Krsna choked him by expanding in his throat.<br \/>\nAfter the demon died, Krsna revived all the boys and calves with His transcendental glance and led them out of the demon\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n<p>PAINTING BY PARIKSIT DASA, DHRTI &#8211; DEVI DASI,<br \/>\nAND JADURANI &#8211; DEVI DASI<br \/>\n(1977)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/a4868b2aed9b6fe061727ee0bb11ed7a\/8c51300678dbb3ae-ca\/s500x750\/bb0c4c5963257e8856f1cc943463395338ef3fd0.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The demon Aghasura assumed the form of a huge python as thick as a mountain and as long as eight miles.
