evam - thus; vikatthamānasya - who was brazenly speaking; kupitaḥ - angered; devakī-sutaḥ - Kṛṣṇa, the son of Devakī; rajakasya - of the washerman; kara - of one hand; agreṇa - with the front; śiraḥ - the head; kāyāt - from his body; apātayat - made fall.

As the washerman thus spoke brazenly, the son of Devakī became angry, and then merely with His fingertips He separated the man’s head from his body.
