Krishna
There was a boy who had enemies that tried to keep him from
being born and tried to kill him when he was born. He grew up and become so
much more than a king. This man’s name was Krishna. He was however not a part
of their world, they were a part of his. Kansa ruled Mathura and the people
hated it. One day a voice from the sky told him of his death. It would be at
the hands of a child born from his cousin Devaki and Vasudev. He decided to kill
his cousin. His cousin pleaded for him to spare them. He decided to kill all
their children. Every time they gave birth to another child he smashed the baby
on the bars. On the 7th child Mahamaya transported the child to the
womb of another woman named Rohini Vasudev’s first wife. Everyone thought
Devaki suffered a miscarriage. When they had their 8th child the
gods and animals rejoiced because the 8th avatar of Vishnu was
coming to earth. All the guards and king were sleeping, so Vasudev took his son
and left. Everyone slept through the city allowing him to reach the region
Yamuna. There was a voice telling him to bow to the river. A serpent appeared
and protected him and his son. He reached the other side and met some gypsies.
He put his son next to Maya and picked up Maya and left with her. He was glad
that no harm would come to his son for he switched the two. The king dreamed
that tragedy would befall him. When the king reached the cell he saw a girl and
laughed. Kamsa was happy until he tried to kill her. The child fell from his
hand and turned into Durga. Durga’s light filled up the cell and told him he
was a fool. She told him that he should not look for him for the avatar would
come for him.
