Trinavarta

Trinavarta (Sanskrit: तृणावर्त, IAST: Tṛṇāvarta) is an asura who is featured in Hindu literature, most prominently in the Bhagavata Purana.

[4][5] He enveloped the whole of Gokulam with a cloud of dust and darkness, the resultant cover of sand particles causing great distress to Yashoda, who attempted to find her son with the help of the gopis.

[7] The deity then proceeded to clasp his captor's throat with intense force, which paralysed him and pushed out his eye-sockets.

Infatuated with passion, the king is stated to have engaged in amorous activities with a hundred damsels along the banks of a river named Pushpabhadra, located near the Gandhamadana mountain.

When the king failed to offer the sage the customary respect, he was cursed to be reborn as an asura, one whose liberation was to be received at the hands of Krishna.
