THE DELIVERANCE OF THE YAMALA-ARJUNA TREES

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Krsna, to fulfill the truthfulness of the words of the greatest devotee, Narada, slowly went to that spot where the twin arjuna trees were standing.

"Although these two young men are the sons of the very rich Kuvera and I have nothing to do with them, Devarṣi Narada is My very dear and affectionate devotee, and therefore because he wanted me to come face to face with them, I must do so for their deliverance."

Krsna soon entered between the two arjuna trees, and thus the big mortar to which He was bound turned crosswise and stuck between them. 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.

Thereafter, in that very place where the two arjuna trees had fallen, two great, perfect personalities, who appeared like fire personified, came out of the two trees. The effulgence of their beauty illuminating all directions, with bowed heads and folded hands they offered obeisances to Krsna.
