Shri Narada said: O king of Mithila, after circumambulating Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kumuda entered a celestial airplane and at once flew to Vaikunthaloka, filling the circle of the directions with light as he went.

 

Well lets see Srimad Bhagavatams version to this lila:

SB 10.37.1-2: Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: The demon Keśī, sent by Kaḿsa, appeared in Vraja as a great horse. Running with the speed of the mind, he tore up the earth with his hooves. The hairs of his mane scattered the clouds and the demigods' airplanes throughout the sky, and he terrified everyone present with his loud neighing.When the Supreme Personality of Godhead saw how the demon was frightening His village of Gokula by neighing terribly and shaking the clouds with his tail, the Lord came forward to meet him. Keśī was searching for Kṛṣṇa to fight, so when the Lord stood before him and challenged him to approach, the horse responded by roaring like a lion.

SB 10.37.3: Seeing the Lord standing before him, Keśī ran toward Him in extreme rage, his mouth gaping as if to swallow up the sky. Rushing with furious speed, the unconquerable and unapproachable horse demon tried to strike the lotus-eyed Lord with his two front legs.

SB 10.37.4: But the transcendental Lord dodged Keśī's blow and then with His arms angrily seized the demon by the legs, whirled him around in the air and contemptuously threw him the distance of one hundred bow-lengths, just as Garuḍa might throw a snake. Lord Kṛṣṇa then stood there.

SB 10.37.5: Upon regaining consciousness Keśī angrily got up, opened his mouth wide and again rushed to attack Lord Kṛṣṇa. But the Lord just smiled and thrust His left arm into the horse's mouth as easily as one would make a snake enter a hole in the ground.

SB 10.37.6: Keśī's teeth immediately fell out when they touched the Supreme Lord's arm, which to the demon felt as hot as molten iron. Within Keśī's body the Supreme Personality's arm then expanded greatly, like a diseased stomach swelling because of neglect.

SB 10.37.7: As Lord Kṛṣṇa's expanding arm completely blocked Keśī's breathing, his legs kicked convulsively, his body became covered with sweat, and his eyes rolled around. The demon then passed stool and fell on the ground, dead.

SB 10.37.8: The mighty-armed Kṛṣṇa withdrew His arm from Keśī's body, which now appeared like a long karkaṭikā fruit. Without the least display of pride at having so effortlessly killed His enemy, the Lord accepted the demigods' worship in the form of flowers rained down from above.

SB 10.37.9: My dear King, thereafter Lord Kṛṣṇa was approached in a solitary place by the great sage among the demigods, Nārada Muni. That most exalted devotee spoke as follows to the Lord, who effortlessly performs His pastimes.

note :SB 10.37.4 describes that Krsna threw Kesi one hundred bow lenght ,well the English long bow was around 6 feet 2 inches http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_longbow

so what the distance is of a bow used in India during Krsnas time we do not know, well if we multiply 100 with around 2 meters, it becomes 200 meter that Krsna threw Kesi.

Anyhow one  western devotee Advaita Prabhu that lives at Radha kunda told met, in vraja these pastimes of Garga Samhita are told to   kids they really love them

Hahahahahah Krsnas lilas are all sweet and all attractive,.

In his commentaries to Srimad Bhagavatam Saratha Darsani, Srila Visvanath Chakravati Thakura has comemnted that Krsna threw Kesi 600 feet? So my guess was not bad

  600 feet = 182.88 meters.Srila Visvanath Chakravati Thakura comments to vers SB 10.37.8 that Kesi body burst open like am over ripe melon.And Krsna was

not proud as it was a easy fight (bit different from Garga Samhita) and the Devas sprinkled water and flowers to cool Krsna after His fight.

How sweet is that? This chapter also describes how Narada Muni predicted many of Krsnas future pastimes, the same was done in Lord Ramachandra lilas by Valmiki Muni.

There is a famous vaisnava prayer: "Do not go to Kesi Ghat because there you will find Krsna playing His flute and you will forget material attactions"

Well of course these days many devotees feel sad at Kesi Ghat : http://www.news.vrindavantoday.org/2011/12/channel-digging-at-keshi...

Well what can I say? Maybe we should just chant

:

kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! he! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! he! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! rakṣā mām! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! kṛṣṇa! pāhi mām! rāma! rāghava! rāma! rāghava! rāma! rāghava! rakṣā mām! kṛṣṇa! keśava! kṛṣṇa! keśava kṛṣṇa! keśava! pāhi mām!

O Lord Krsna, please protect me and maintain me. O Lord Rama, descendant of King Raghu, please protect me. O Krsna, O Kesava, killer of the Kesi demon, please maintain me.

your servant
