Aghasura (Samskrit: अघासुरः) was the brother of Bakasura and Putana and a follower of Kamsa. Following Kamsa’s instructions, he once went to Gokula to kill Sri Krshna. At that time, Sri Krshna was playing on the banks of the river Kalindi with other gopalas. Aghasura watched the games of the children from the sky above. And in due course, transformed himself into a huge serpent and lay with his mouth wide open. His open mouth looked like an immense cave. The gopalas walked into the cave-like mouth of Agha in the course of their games. Aghasura also immediately closed his mouth as soon as Sri Krshna entered his body. Realizing the situation, Sri Krshna now enlarged his body. His body grew larger and larger until at last it burst open the body of the serpent (Agha). And thus, Aghasura was killed. Sri Krshna then restored life of the boys by his divine look (kataksha). <ref>Vettam Mani (1975), [https://archive.org/details/puranicencyclopa00maniuoft/page/10 Puranic Encyclopaedia], Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass.</ref><ref name=":0">[https://archive.org/details/BhagavataPuranaMotilalEnglish/page/n1341 The Bhagavata Purana], Delhi : Motilal Banarsidass Publishers Private Limited</ref>
