Kṛṣṇa began sporting in KÄliya’s lake like a lordly elephant — swirling His mighty arms and making the water resound in various ways. When KÄliya heard these sounds, he understood that someone was trespassing in his lake. The serpent could not tolerate this and immediately came forward.
According to the ÄcÄryas, Lord Kṛṣṇa was producing wonderful musical sounds within the water simply by splashing His hands and arms.
