Once
Krishna without Balarama but with his other playmates, went to the
Yamuna, after wandering through the forest of Brindavan. As the cowherd
boys and the cows and the calves were
oppressed by the heat of the summer, they felt extremely thirsty. They
drank the poisoned water of the Yamuna. They fell dead on the bank of
Yamuna soon after they drank it. Sri Krishna revived them by a mere
glance radiating forth the life-giving nectar. They regained their
consciousness, got up from the edge of the water and began to look at
one another in great astonishment. They came to know that they fell dead
by drinking the poisonous water of the Yamuna and that Sri Krishna
brought them back to life by his gracious looks.
Kaliya sought shelter in a deep pool of water in the Yamuna. Once upon a time Garuda caught a fish in that pool of water and was about to eat it. Rishi Soubhari said, "O Garuda! Do not eat this fish." Garuda did not pay any attention to the words of the Rishi. The wailings of the other fishes touched the heart of the Rishi. In order to save the fishes, the Rishi pronounced a curse on Garuda that he would die if he entered that pool any more. Kaliya knew about this. Therefore he sought shelter in that pool of water with his family.
Sri Krishna noticed that the most venomous snake had rendered the water of the Yamuna poisonous. He wanted to expel the serpent from the river in order to purify the water. Sri Krishna tightened His girdle, climbed a lofty Kadamba tree, and jumped into the pool of water. The serpent fiercely attacked Krishna and stung Him in His vital parts. It completely enclosed Him in its coils. The cows wept and the Gopa boys became senseless. Nanda and other Gopas came out in search of Krishna. They saw Him in the grasp of the powerful serpent and wept bitterly.
Sri Krishna extricated Himself from the clutches of the serpent. He began to sport with it. He got upon its hoods and danced upon them. It had one thousand hoods, one hundred being the chief. The serpent vomited blood. Sri Krishna trampled down with His feet each one of the hoods. The body of the serpent was shattered. The serpent sought the protection of the Lord. The wives of the serpent praised Krishna and prayed for their husband's life. The Lord stopped His dance. Kaliya slowly recovered consciousness.
Krishna told Kaliya to go to the sea immediately with all your kith and kin and, wives and let the water of the Yamuna be used by the cows and men. Now, as kaliya's hoods bore the marks of Lord's feet, he had no fear of Garuda Thereupon Kaliya proceeded to the Ramanaka island in the sea with his wives, friends and children. The waters of the Yamuna then turned as sweet as nectar itself.
