Reading Notes: Epified Krishna Part B

 Part B begins with Krishna still proving how mighty and divine he truly was. Brahma the creator once stepped over him and wanted to challenge his divinity. By doing this he captured all of Krishna's friends and cows. Krishna with ease replaced them by creating them anew. A year later Brahma realized what Krishna had done, realized his true divinity, and returned his friends and cows. One day Krishna comes to Gargacharya for the blessing to marry Radha. The priest refuses and explains to him this was not in Krishna's destiny. Furthermore states how his true birth parents were not Yoshodha and Nanda, but were in prison at the hand of Kansa. Krishna utterly upset by this, realized what his destiny really was. Akrur comes to the village to invite Krishna to the palace of Mathura. He explains to Krishna what this invitation truly meant from Kansa and that it was a proposed trap. However, Krishna still accepted and left to Mathura with Akrur. Krishna makes a name for himself among the people of Mathura, blessing them, fixing their deformities, or even just bringing peace from of his presence. At the doors of the palace stood Kansa's deadly elephant that Krishna took over with ease. Krishna defeated Kansa's body guards, and furthermore Kansa himself. The kingdom of Mathura was freed. Now Krishna was to free his true birth mother and father from their prison cells. Allies of the Kansa were furious, so Krishna decided to move the palace elsewhere, building a place named Dwarka.
