Devdhaman Lila

Devdhaman lila-Brahamaji

Having seen Agasur being killed by Krishna, Brahma Dev, the Creator, had been convinced of Krishna's divine power. But seeing him at Chak lila (sharing food) with Gualas in the forest, doubts prevailed upon him. So, he decided to examine Krishna's divine power.

Brahma caused all the Gualas including Krishna to sleep soundly and then he drove all their cattle to a cave and shut them inside it. When the Gualas got up, they found their cattle missing. So, Krishna went in search of the cattle. Now Brahma again caused the Gualas to sleep and carried them to the same cave and shut them too.

Having failed to locate the cattle.anywhere, Krishna came back and found the cowboys missing. So, he used his divine sight and smiled to see through Brahma's trick. Now Krishna, in order to exhibit his divine power, created the same Gualas and cattle. So, Brahma's trick became ineffective.

The Gualas and their cattle kept coming and going just as before. When Brahma checked the cave, he found the cowboys and the cattle shut there. And when he came to the pasture, each of the grazing cattle and the Gualas disappeared in the form of Shri Krishna. Now Brahma realized his mistake. He came to Krishna and praised him a lot. He was convinced of Krishna's divine power. So, he let off all the Gualas and their calf and cattle.
