Sakatasura
In  his  previous  life  Sakatasura  was  born  in  the  Caksusa 
Manvantara  as tha son of Hiranyaksa ana was name  Utkatca  He 
had the body of a giant and was extremely powerful. In order  to 
give  vent  to  his strength he  would sometimes  go  to  harass 
Lomasá muni á great sage by uprooting and scattering the  trees 
near his asrama.

One day after doing his mischief Utkatcá insolently  approached 
the  muni  and  towering  over  him  sneered   contemptuously 
Infuriated  by  this arrogant display of  defiance  Lomasá  muni 
addressed him sternly:
"O  fool, because your intelligence is diseased you  erroneously 
think that you can vandalize and defile my asramá with  impunity 
considering  me á helpless old man and nothing more Because  you 
have so grieviously abused the facility of physical form I curse 
you to henceforth become á ghost."
As  á  serpent leaves its skin Utkatcá immediately  vacated  his 
body. As  he  found himself floating in  the  ether  he  became 
very astonished. With á new found respect and repentant heart he 
humbly submitted himself at the feet of the sage saying:
"O best of the rsis. O ocean of mercy kindly be compassionate to 
me.  Until now I was completely unaware of your potency.  I  beg 
you to allow me to enter my body again."

In his lifetime Lomasá muni had seen 10 Brahmas come and go. If 
the curse of such a person is in itself a benediction then  what 
to speak of his blessing!

Seeing  the  demon's  change  of  heart  Lomasá  muni   relented 
somewhat saying:
"You  must remain in this subtle form until the  present  Caksusá 
(6th  manvantará is finished. Then in the following  Vaivasvatá 
Manvantara,  at  the end of the 28th Dvapará  yuga  the  Supreme 
Personality  of  Godhead Lord Krsna wilì manifest  His  earthly 
pastimes.  At that time you will be liberated when He kills  you 
with á strike of His lotus foot."As  fortold  by Lomasá muni Utkatcá became Sakatasurá  in  Krsná Lila and was sent byu Kamsá to kill the Lord.

Because  ghosts  drift helplessly when in open air they  try  to 
occupy some place where the air is not moving when they wish  to 
remain  stationary. Considering this, as soon as  Sakatasurá  had 
spotted  baby Krsná lying underneath á heavy cart, he entered it 
in his ethereal body and caused it to collapse violently on  the
Lord.  At  once  Krsná  kicked  the  dismantled  cart  and  thus 
Sakatasurá was immediately freed from his subtle body  Attaining 
his  spiritual form he spontaneously offered his  obeisances  to 
the  Lord, and thereafter mounting an effulgent chariot drawn by  100 
horses which carried him directly to Goloká Vrndavan.
