The ass demon, named Dhenukasura, heard the sound and galloped furiously to where the boys stood, to attack his challenger. First he kicked Balarama in the chest, but Balarama was undisturbed. When he kicked Him again, Balarama grabbed the demon’s two hind feet and whirled him around. The force killed Dhenukasura, and Balarama then threw the dead ass demon up into the palm trees. The heavy weight of the demon’s body broke one tree which fell upon another.
