WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

Keśī’s teeth immediately fell out when they touched the Supreme Lord’s arm, which to the demon felt as hot as molten iron. Within Keśī’s body the Supreme Personality’s arm then expanded greatly, like a diseased stomach swelling because of neglect.

PURPORT

Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī points out that although Lord Kṛṣṇa’s arm is more tender and cooling than a blue lotus, to Keśī it felt extremely hot as if made of lightning bolts.
