<< 15 - The Killing of Dhenuka, the Ass Demon >>

<< VERSE 40 >>


WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

People now felt free to return to the forest where Dhenuka had been killed, and without fear they ate the fruits of the palm trees. Also, the cows could now graze freely upon the grass there.

PURPORT

According to the ācāryas, low-class people such as the pulindas ate the fruits of the palm trees, but Kṛṣṇa’s cowherd boyfriends considered them undesirable, since they had been tainted with the blood of the asses.
