Reading Notes: Epified Krishna, Part B.

(Krishna and Balram meet their parents)

I loved the story about how Brahma came to realize the greatness that was Krishna. It really goes to show how great he (Krishna) really is to not only the people around him but also to the people who he had never met before. Krishna used kindness to get close to Hastin, who everyone had feared. He showed them that with just a bit of if, you could do great things. I wonder what was in the water that Akrur used to wash his face that caused him to see hallucinations. In the town Krishna and Balram met a woman named Trivakra. She was an old woman with 3 deformities: a twisted neck, a hunched back, and a paralyzed knee. It turns out that someone had told Trivakra that it would be the son of  Vasudev that would be able to heal her deformities. When she realized that that son was Krishna, she asked him to heal her and he did. After finally defeating Kans, Krishna was able to free all of his family members that were once imprisoned by him (Kans). After Kans died, Ugrasen became the king of Mathura. Now that Kans was dead, many of his allies attacked Mathura. Due to this, Krishna asked Ugrasen to move the city in order to keep the members of the city safe. After much convincing, Ugrasen asked Vishwakarma, the divine architect. to build the city of Dwarka. In this new city, Krishna became king.
