Just before going to “How come Lord Krishna as a boy (kid) (youngster) killed demons“, let us have some brief information.
Lord Sri Krishna as a boy killing demons
In this post, the great and well-known deeds of Lord Sri Krishna when he was still a boy are described.
These are well-known to many of us.
Therefore, these will be briefly stated in the order in which these are mentioned in the Mahabharata to enable readers to recollect these events and realize the glory of Lord Sri Krishna.
Garga, the family priest of the Yadavas, performed the sanskars (Sacraments) appropriate to Kshatriyas for Lord Sri Krishna and Sri Balarama.
Lord Sri Krishna revealed his Vishvarupa (Universal form) to Mother Yashoda for the second time.
He went on breaking the curd pots and stealing the butter to enrage his mother. She tied him to a mortar to prevent him from this mischief.
Because of this, He became Damodara (damo + udara = damo means thread and udara means belly).
He dragged the mortar between two trees and uprooted them.
Two demons who were hiding in the trees, Dhuni and Chamu, were killed. Nalakubara and Manigriva, two sons of Kubera, were born as these two trees and were released by Lord Sri Krishna.
In order to motivate the Gopas to move from Gokula to Vrindavana, Lord Sri Krishna assumed the form of crores of wolves. The Gopas became panicky at this and left for Vrindavana.
At Vrindavana, Lord Sri Krishna killed Vatsasura, a servant of Kamsa who had come in the form of a calf.
He also killed Bakasura. (A different Bakasura was later killed by Bhimasena.)
Lord Sri Krishna wandered on the bank of Yamuna with Gopas. He noticed the snake Kaliya in the middle of the Yamuna.
Lord Sri Krishna danced on the head of Kaliya. Kaliya was hiding in the Yamuna out of fear from Garuda.
Kaliya and his wives appealed to Lord Sri Krishna to save them from Garuda.
Lord Sri Krishna assured Kaliya that Garuda would not kill him upon seeing His footprints on his hood. He sent Kaliya to Ramana dvipa.
When the Gopas were on the bank of the Yamuna, a wild fire broke out in the forest. Lord Sri Krishna extinguished it.
The demon Ugra, who had assumed the form of a poisonous tree and was spreading a foul smell all over and causing diseases to people was killed.
Lord Sri Krishna killed seven bulls who were sons of Kalanemi born in the form of seven bulls.
He married Nila. This Nila and the Nila who is one of eight queens of Lord Sri Krishna are one and the same.
This first Nila was married by him before his Upanayana.
Then Dhenukasura and Pralambasura were killed.
Later, Gopas moved far away from Gokula. They became hungry, so Lord Sri Krishna asked them to go to a nearby place where some Brahmanas were engaged in a sacrifice and ask for some food.
The Gopas went there, but the Brahmanas refused to give them any food.
However, the wives of the Brahmanas brought the food to them.
The Gopas wanted to worship Lord Sri Indra Deva as Supreme God, but Lord Sri Krishna prevented them from doing so.
As a result, Lord Sri Indra Deva started pouring heavy rains. Lord Sri Krishna lifted the Govardhana hill and protected the Gopas.
Lord Sri Indra realized his mistake and praised Lord Sri Krishna. He coronated Him as the king of cows. Lord Sri Krishna became Govinda.
(Gov + in + da = Go means cows, in means indriyas and da means winner. Someone who has won over Go and Indriyas is called Govinda).
Lord Sri Krishna sported with the Gopis who had performed the Katyayani ritual to obtain Lord Sri Krishna. He begot ten lakh male children through them. They were all known as Narayana.
Lord Sri Krishna killed Shankhachuda, who was harassing the Gopis, and Aristasura, who was harassing the cows.
Keshi and Vyomasura were also killed.
Lord Sri Krishna Kills Kamsa
Kamsa again imprisoned Vasudeva and Devaki.
He sent Akrura to bring Lord Sri Krishna and Balarama to participate in the worship of Shiva’s bow.
Akrura was a gandharva by the name Kishora. Svayambhuva manu as well as Brahma were partially present in him.
While Akrura was taking Lord Sri Krishna and balarama he saw the divine form of Lord Sri Krishna and Shesha form of Balarama.
Upon entering Mathura, Lord Sri Krishna killed an arrogant washer man and snatched the garments for Himself and for Balarama.
He received the services of a barber and a flower vendor.
He received sandalwood paste from Trivakra.
Then he went to the armory, took Shiva’s bow, and broke it.
Kamsa was frightened by the deeds of Lord Sri Krishna. He placed the huge elephant Kuvalayapeeda at the entrance and asked Chanura and Mustika to also guard the entrance.
Kamsa’s large army was ready as well. Lord Sri Krishna killed Kuvalayapeeda, Chanura, Mustika, and the army.
Finally, he killed Kamsa by kicking him multiple times.
Vayu, who was present in Kamsa, entered Lord Sri Krishna, while the demon in him went to tamas (Naraka).
