dear devotees I wrote this a few years ago but have cleaned it up today for Radha Kundas appearance :

KRSNA You can no longer touch me!

Sri Radha told Krsna , first you killed Vatsasura the calf and now you have killed a bull , Shame on you Krsna ! Krsna smiled : dear Priya Radha , there was no sin there ,they were demons disgused as a calf and a bull.
