D ing baby Khon luhima ceremone mother Yaloda sav chac te was ālling alep, and the placed the child in a cradle underneath a household cart. This handcart was actually a form
of Sakaṭāsura, a demon who had come there to kill the child. Although Lord Kṛṣṇa's little legs were as soft as leaves, when He struck the cart with them it turned over violently and collapsed. The wheels separated from the axle, the hubs and spokes fell apart, and the pole of the handcart broke. On the cart there were many little utensils made of various metals, and they all scattered hither and thither.
When mother Yaśodā, Nanda Mahārāja, and their friends saw the situation, they wondered how the handcart had collapsed by itself. They wandered here and there, trying to find the cause, but they were unable to do so. "Is it the work of some demon or evil planet?" they asked.
At that time the small children present asserted that the cart had been kicked apart by baby Kṛṣṇa, but the assembled cowherd men and women, unaware of Kṛṣṇa's powers, did not believe it.
