Sometime later, Kansa again sent an evil demon Arishta to Vrindavan to kill Lord Krishna. ‘I will kill You, Krishna. Consider me Your deliverer,’ the vile bull-demon thought as he entered Vrindavan. Arishta’s eyes glowed with an angry red light and his mighty hooves thudded on the floor as he charged ahead. The demon was so large that he seemed to block out the sun. It was impossible to climb on him because of his huge size. He moved with such speed that he could be in two different places in no time at all. Such negative energy came from him that all the birds and the animals fell silent as they saw the evil demon. Arishta moved his massive head as he combed through the crowds looking for Lord Krishna. The people of Vrindavan saw the bull-demon and shouted in fear, “A mighty evil demon with his ugly fiendish ways is attacking us. Help us, Lord Krishna!”
