Aghasura was the younger brother of Putana and Bakasura, who were killed by Krishna. So Aghasura decided to take revenge for his sibling death and accepted the proposal of King Kansa to kill Krishna.
Aghasura was a demon so he easily assumed the form of giant serpent and appeared before Krishna and his cowherd friends. The Aghasura expanded his body up to 8 miles in length with his jaw widely open stretching like a mountain cave. Aghasura lay on the path where Krishna and Balarama with his friends were playing. Cowherd’s friends with their cattle entered in the mouth of Aghasura mistaking it as a cave. Krishna also entered while the demon was trying to kill his friends. Cowherds and cattle began to fell down unconsciously. Krishna immediately began to expand his body in bigger size within the throat of demon. Though the serpent was giant, but ultimately his throat began to choke and suffocate. His breathing stopped and eyes rolled down due to shortage of air, but Krishna continued expanding his body. Finally it burst out forming a hole in top part of demon skull. Aghasura fell dead and Krishna brought all his friends and cattle back to conscious stage.
