Mystic music blows up the ascending head and then returns to its place. Shree Krishna is seen by villainous Kansa who sees a column, falls asleep and when he awakens there is no more. Then he sees Krishna as a child, then as a teen, then he sees the column again. It happens for a moment and Krishna appears in two different parts at the same time and then multiply, threaten him with a spear. The divine being is condemned by the king to being crushed by an elephant, but he tames it repeatedly. He is brought back to the king, who is told that he has supernatural powers and the sentence to be thrown into a boiling cauldron, but she goes out unscathed. The king condemns him to drink a mortal potion, which changes color to the prayer of God. Written by luigicavaliere See less
