# Attacking Asuras

**Putana:** Sent by Kamsa, the demoness arrived in Gokula disguised as a beautiful maiden. She nonchalantly walked into the bedroom of Krishna, placed Him on her lap, and offered her breast which was smeared with poison. Understanding her purpose, Krishna clasped her breast and sucked her entire life out, after which she collapsed on the ground and revealed her ghastly, demoniac form. As Krishna danced upon her body, the anxious inhabitants of Vrindavana lovingly picked Him up and performed various rituals of protection. Despite her inimical attitude, Putana was transferred to the spiritual world.

**Sakatasura:** When Krishna turned three months old, His mother celebrated a rite of passage while He lay under a cart in a cradle. When Krishna awoke from His slumber, He began to cry for milk and powerfully thrust His legs upward. That kick collapsed the entire cart, within which the demon Sakatasura was hiding, and everything fell crashing to the ground. The demon was immediately killed, while Krishna remained unharmed.

**Trinavarta:** On another occasion, while holding her baby, Yasoda could no longer bear Krishna’s weight. After putting Him down, a huge whirlwind appeared which blinded everyone. That dust storm was caused by Trinavarta, who utilised the opportunity to swiftly kidnap Krishna. While flying in the sky, Krishna again became too heavy to carry, and being unable to let go of Krishna, the demon came hurtling down and died.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bhagavata.keshavaswami.com/canto-10-part-1/b.a.b.y/a-attacking-asuras-and-astonishing-activities-6-14/attacking-asuras.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
