English	“When Kṛṣṇa was chastising Kāliya Nāga in the Yamunā River, the big snake wrapped his coils all over Kṛṣṇa’s body.” Kṛṣṇa performed this pastime in order to increase the ecstatic spiritual emotions of His devotees, who felt unlimited transcendental anxiety for His safety. In the spiritual world, devotees experience all varieties of emotions.
