Krishna's gratitude towards Draupadi

Draupadi was the wife of the five Pandavas, the ruler of Indraprastha Kingdom. The relation between Krishna and Draupadi was of brother and sister. There wasn’t any blood relation between them. Once Draupadi bandaged Lord Krishna’s wrist by a strip torn from her sari to stop the flow of blood. Lord Krishna was very touched by the gratitude done by Draupadi. He promised her to repay the debt and to protect her from all evils.

Lord Krishna kept his words and spent 25 years protecting Draupadi from all harm and injustice. Once, the five Pandava’s became victim of cruel Duryodhana and his maternal uncle Shakuni in the game of gambling. Duryodhana was the son of Dhritarashtra (Ruler of Hastinapur) and cousin brother of Pandavas. Pandavas lost everything including their Kingdom, wealth and themselves. At last they put Draupadi in the bet and lost her too. Draupadi after been lost by her husband’s was dragged forcefully into the court by Dushasana, brother of Duryodhana and became the victim of vastra Haran. Being wife of five Pandavas, the great warriors Draupadi felt very helpless and insulted. Her only trust remained with Lord Krishna and she prayed to him. As Dushasana undraped layers of her sari, Lord Krishna increases the length of her sari. Dushasana get tired and backs off. This is how Lord Krishna kept his promise and repaid the debt by protecting her from being unclothed in front of assembly of king Dhritarashtra.

Krishna killing Aghasura the snake demon

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.
