Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 54


Sanskrit:

श्रीशुक उवाचइत्थं स नागपत्नीभिर्भगवान् समभिष्टुत: ।मूर्च्छितं भग्नशिरसं विससर्जाङ्‍‍‍‍‍घ्रिकुट्टनै: ॥ ५४ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-śuka uvācaitthaṁ sa nāga-patnībhirbhagavān samabhiṣṭutaḥmūrcchitaṁ bhagna-śirasaṁvisasarjāṅghri-kuṭṭanaiḥ

Translation:

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Thus praised by the Nāgapatnīs, the Supreme Personality of Godhead released the serpent Kāliya, who had fallen unconscious, his heads battered by the striking of the Lord’s lotus feet.

Purport:

According to Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura, Lord Kṛṣṇa, upon reaching His decision, immediately jumped down from Kāliya’s hoods and stood before the serpent and his wives. We should remember that when Lord Kṛṣṇa executed these pastimes, He was just a young village boy in Vṛndāvana.
