The throne of the idol Krishna in that temple is a masterpiece of wood carving and bears $60,000 worth of gold ornaments.

The truth, if we are to admit it, is that despite considerable acquaintance with Krishna as a name, few educated people in the West have intimate knowledge of his story.

And, O Krishna of mighty energy, in observance of thy vow thou hadst stood on one leg for the length of a thousand years of the celestials, on the plains of Prabhasa which it behoveth the virtuous to visit!

Some one digs a hole; another produces a black cock; and Rama with a knife cuts its throat over the hole, imploring the spirit's departure, at the very moment that Krishna with a final shriek plunges into the sea.

Krishna for the time being is out of their minds, having been put to sleep beneath a heavy cart loaded with pitchers.

Said Krishna to the Prince Arjuna "Humbleness, truthfulness, and harmlessness, Patience and honor, reverence for the wise, Purity, constancy, control of self, Contempt of sense-delights, self-sacrifice, Perception of the certitude of ill In birth, death, age, disease, suffering and sin; An ever tranquil heart in fortunes

Among the gods is Brahma, who decides to tease Krishna by hiding the calves while the cowherd children are eating.

One husband stops his wife, but rather than be left behind the woman leaves her body and reaches Krishna before the others.

Vasudeva puts Krishna beside her, takes up the baby girl, recrosses the river and joins Devaki in her prison.

One day, those foremost of the Bharatas, afflicted with grief, were seated with Krishna on a clean and solitary sward.
