By dragging behind Him with great force the wooden mortar tied to His belly, the boy Kṛṣṇa uprooted the two trees. By the great strength of the Supreme Person, the two trees, with their trunks, leaves and branches, trembled severely and fell to the ground with a great crash.
PURPORT
This is the pastime of Kṛṣṇa known as dāmodara-līlā. Therefore another of Kṛṣṇa's names is Dāmodara. As stated in the Hari-vaṁśa:
- sa ca tenaiva nāmnā tu
- kṛṣṇo vai dāma-bandhanāt
- goṣṭhe dāmodara iti
- gopībhiḥ parigīyate
