How Can Krishna’s Pastimes Be Interrupted By A Demon?

How Can Krishna’s Pastimes Be Interrupted By A Demon? by Srila Vishvanatha Chakravarti Thakura

Although the various activities being enjoyed by the cowherd boys could not be stopped, unless they stopped the transcendental pleasure they could not eat their lunch. Therefore at lunchtime Aghasura appeared by the  arrangement of Yogamaya, so that for the time being they would stop their activities and take lunch. Variegated activities are the mother of enjoyment. The cowherd boys would continuously play, then stop, and then again enjoy in a different way. Therefore every day a demon would come and interrupt their sporting pastimes. The demon would be killed, and then the boys would engage again in their transcendental playing pastimes.
