One day, Lord who fulfils all wishes, you went to the forest with your friend Balarama, beautifully dressed and surrounded by the cowherd boys and the cows.

Showing Balarama the pure beauty of Vrindavan at leisure, you came playing with the stick-carrying boys to the Bhandiraka banyan tree.

Just then a heartless demon named Pralamba, eager to kill you, took the form of a cowherd and came up to you, the long-armed Lord.

Though you knew who he was, you acted as if you didn’t and made friends with him, and near the banyan tree you began a game of paired wrestling set up by the clever cowherds.

Dividing the cowherds into two teams, Balarama’s and yours, you let the demon, who feared your strength, join Balarama’s side, Lord.

As many boys carried others and were carried this way, all-pervading Lord, Pralamba, beaten by Balarama, carried him off far away, afraid of you.

From the demon’s great height Balarama caught sight of your face in the distance, lost his fear, and with a firm fist at once crushed the wicked demon.
