Text 5
saḥ labdha-saṁjñaḥ punar utthito ruṣā
vyādāya keśī tarasāpatad dharim
so ’py asya vaktre bhujam uttaraṁ smayan
praveśayām āsa yathoragaṁ bile
saḥ — he, Keśī; labdha — regaining; saṁjñaḥ — consciousness; punaḥ — again; utthitaḥ — rose up; ruṣā — in anger; vyādāya — opening (his mouth) wide; keśī — Keśī; tarasā — rapidly; apatat — ran; harim — toward Kṛṣṇa; saḥ — He, Lord Kṛṣṇa; api — and; asya — his; vaktre — in the mouth; bhujam — His arm; uttaram — left; smayan — smiled; praveśayām āsa — placed within; yathā — as; uragam — a snake; bile — (enters) within a hole.
Upon regaining consciousness Keśī angrily got up, opened his mouth wide and again rushed to attack Lord Kṛṣṇa. But the Lord just smiled and thrust His left arm into the horse’s mouth as easily as one would make a snake enter a hole in the ground.
