About this item
Seeing the two arjuna trees in front of Him, Krishna thought, "These two trees were formerly Nalakuvara and Manigriva. But although these two young men are the sons of the very rich Kuvera, I actually have nothing to do with them. Yet Narada Muni 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."
Having thus decided to deliver the two brothers, Krishna dragged the big mortar between the two arjuna trees and caused it to become stuck between them. Then with great force He uprooted the two trees, which 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 appeared, their effulgent beauty illuminating all directions.
