Kansa, the cruel ruler of Mathura and the maternal uncle of Krishna, knew that his end would come at the hands of the divine child. Terrified, he constantly plotted ways to kill Krishna, who was then living peacefully in Gokul. One such plan involved sending the demon Bakasura to eliminate the young boy. What unfolded next was a tale of unmatched courage and divine power.
Kansa, Krishna's cruel uncle, was always restless. He knew his end would come at the hands of his nephew, and that thought never left his mind. Every day, he cooked up new ways to try and finish off the boy who was living peacefully in Gokul.
One day, Kansa called for Bakasura - a fearsome demon - and told him to go get rid of Krishna. Bakasura didn't waste time. He transformed himself into a terrifying giant bird, big enough to scare anyone, and set out toward Gokul.
Meanwhile, Krishna was out playing in the forest with his friends, like he always did. The air was filled with laughter - until a massive shadow fell on them. Looking up, the kids saw a monstrous bird flying straight at them.
Krishna instantly knew this wasn't just any bird - this was another one of Kansa's demons, come to attack him.
As Bakasura swooped down with his beak wide open, Krishna didn't run. Instead, he stood his ground, grabbed the sharp beak, and jumped right into it. Before the demon could react, Krishna started thrashing and moving around inside so fiercely that the demon couldn't take it anymore.
Bakasura's beak cracked and broke. The pain was too much, and the demon collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Krishna stepped out unharmed. His friends ran to him and hugged him tightly, cheering and laughing with relief. Krishna had saved them once again.
