Ananda Vrindavan Champu

Now we will discuss the truth about the transcendental birthplace of Bhagavan and the appearance of Lord Sri Krsna. Once upon a time, Bhumi, the predominating deity of the earth, felt overburdened by differ­ent demons posing as members of the royal order. Feeling aggrieved upon seeing her miserable condition, the lotus-born Brahma appealed to Ksirodakasayi Visnu, the maintainer of the universe, saying, "Please de­liver Goddess Bhumi who is feeling greatly distressed by these demoniac kings. Only You can remove this terrible influence from the earth."
