    The Story of The Supreme: The Srimad Bhagavatam

    The Story of The Butter Thief

    Veda Vyasa
    One fine day, a marriage procession was going on.
    The marriage of Devaki, the princess of Mathura, and
    Vasudeva. The charioteer was thus Kamsa, the evil
    king of Mathura himself. But then, an akashvani
    broke out, and said, “Evil Kamsa! The eight son of
    your beautiful sister Devaki will cause you
    destruction!” Kamsa, being a coward himself, put
    Vasudeva and Devaki in karagar (prison).
    But in the prison, whenever Devaki gave birth to a
    child, Kamsa killed that specific child. He never
    spared any of them. But one day, Devaki gave birth
    to the supreme lord alone, whom, with one touch,
    can destroy the entire universe. She gave birth to the
    avatar of Vishnu, the supreme lord alone. One can
    attain salvation just by looking at him, is he so
    beautiful. At that wonderful day, a great storm
    raged up, destroying everything. At that day was
    born, Krishna. But at that day, suddenly, all the
    guards fell asleep. Kamsa didn’t come. So, Vasudeva
    took Krishna to his friend, Nanda, who lived in
    Vrindavan. That day, Vasudeva’s wife, Yashoda, had
    also just given birth to a beautiful girl. So, Vasudeva
    exchanged the girl with the supreme lord, and took
    the girl to his karagar. There, when he stepped into
    the karagar, the gates closed and the guards woke up.
    Then, Kamsa took the baby girl in his hands, and
    threw her towards the wall. The girl went dead. But
    out of her, emerged, the supreme lady, Devi
    Lakshmi, Krishna’s wife alone. She then said, “O
    Foolish! You will die at my revered lord’s hands! My
    husband is somewhere else! Prepare for death!” And
    then, she disappeared.
    So, as time went on, Krishna grew up and became a
    fine boy. Every person in Vrindavan adored him.
    Everybody loved him. In fact, they loved him even
    more then their own children! Krishna had also
    developed a wonderful taste for butter. He is thus
    known as “The Butter Thief”. He often stole butter
    and gobbled it all with his friends!

    Now, one day, Indra, the kind of demigods, became


    jealous of Krishna. To teach him a lesson, Krishna
    told the Vrindavan vaasis (residents) to start
    worshipping the Govardhan mountain instead of
    Indra. Now, Indra became extremely angry at this
    and bestowed a terrible storm on the vaasis of
    Vrindavan. Then, Krishna lifted the Govardhan
    mountain on his small finger! He gave shelter to all
    the residents of Vrindavan through this act.

    Now, Indra became ashamed and asked Krishna for


    forgiveness and he forgave Indra. Krishna also killed
    rakshasas like Pootana, Trinavarta, Bakasura, etc.

    When Krishna grew up, he left Vrindavan with
    Balaram, his brother and avatar of sheshnag. He
    told his mother the truth: “Mother, I am not your
    son, I am Devaki and Vasudeva’s beloved. Kindly
    allow me to leave.” Saying this, he bade goodbye to
    Radha, his lover and avatar of Lakshmi.

    Now, when Krishna arrived Mathura, he went on a
    fight between Kamsa’s guards and himself and
    Balaram. Krishna easily killed the guards! And so
    did Sheshnag, in the form of Balaram.

    Now, Krishna was soon face to face with Kamsa. He


    just merely kicked him in the face, and Kamsa went
    dead! Such is the might of our supreme!
    The lord then freed his parents and made them the
    kind and queen of Mathura. Later, he formed a city
    named Dwaraka and ruled it with his wives.

    He also helped the pandavas win the war against


    Kauravas. He also narrated the Bhagavata Gita to
    Arjuna, the righteous leader.
    THUS ENDS THE SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM IN THE
    PURPOTS OF KRISHNA’S LIFE
