The gopÄ«s immediately picked Kṛṣṇa up from the chest of the demon and delivered Him, free from all inauspiciousness, to mother YaÅ›odÄ. Because the child, although taken into the sky by the demon, was unhurt and now free from all danger and misfortune, the gopÄ«s and cowherd men, headed by Nanda MahÄrÄja, were extremely happy.
The demon fell flat from the sky, and Kṛṣṇa was playing on his chest very happily, uninjured and free from misfortune. Not at all disturbed because of being taken high in the sky by the demon, Kṛṣṇa was playing and enjoying. This is Änanda-cinmaya-rasa-vigraha. In any condition, Kṛṣṇa is sac-cid-Änanda-vigraha. He has no unhappiness. Others might have thought that He was in difficulty, but because the demon’s chest was sufficiently broad to play on, the baby was happy in all respects. It was most astonishing that although the demon went so high in the sky, the child did not fall down. Therefore, the child had been saved virtually from the mouth of death. Now that He was saved, all the inhabitants of Vá¹›ndÄvana were happy.
