It tried to seize Krishna with its trunk. Krishna slipped between its legs, caught its tail and pulled it about in play. Then he came round in front, brought it down to the ground and wrenched out one of its tusks.\n\nWith the tusk on his shoulder, Krishna entered the arena. Each person there saw him differently: the wrestlers as a thunderbolt, the women as the god of love, the cowherds as their kinsman, Kamsa as death itself.
