01:46powerful.
01:47It thrashed about with its invaluable strength in the river.
01:50Śrī Kṛṣṇa allowed it to coil around him and started the battle.
01:55Śrī Kṛṣṇa struck the serpent's head and subdued its body by firmly gripping its neck.
02:01Kāliya Nāga attempted to fight back with all its might, but Śrī Kṛṣṇa emerged victorious.

02:23purity.
02:24The people of Gokula, especially Kṛṣṇa's companions and the villagers, rejoiced immensely.
02:30Their Kānha had once again resolved a dire crisis.
