ṛṇ屹ٲ (तृणावर्त).—A demon who was the son of Tārakāsura. This demon was living serving Kaṃsa. Kaṃsa once sent ṛṇ屹ٲ to kill Kṛṣṇa growing up in Ambāḍi. ṛṇ屹ٲ, in magic disguise went to the house of Nandagopa. Even when he entered the place bad omens were visible. Yaśodā was breast-feeding baby Kṛṣṇa keeping the babe in her lap. Soon Yaśodā felt the babe gaining weight and very soon she felt the weight unbearable and rose up to place the child on a mat on the ground. But even before that Yaśodā was fixed to the ground by the weight of the babe. But somehow she placed the babe on a mat on the ground and went out to wash her hands and face. When she came back she could not find the babe on the mat. ṛṇ屹ٲ had come in the form of whirl-wind and had already carried away the child. But after some time the weight of the babe increased so much that ṛṇ屹ٲ, unable to carry the weight, wanted to drop the child to the ground. But the child stuck on to his neck and breast tightly and ṛṇ屹ٲ finding no escape from the tight hold which suffocated him, fell to the ground dead on a hard rock. (10th Skandha, Bhāgavata).
