Krishna Enters Mathura

“When the news spread that Krishna, Balarama and the cowherd boys were within Mathura City, all the inhabitants gathered, and the ladies and girls immediately went to the roofs of the houses to see Them. After going up on the roofs of the palaces of Mathura the ladies began to shower flowers upon Krishna and Balarama. When the brothers were passing through the streets, all the brahmanas in the neighborhood also went out with sandalwood and flowers and respectfully welcomed Them to the city.”

Krishna and Balarama then saw a washerman of clothing. Krishna asked him for some nice clothing and promised him if he delivered the nicest dyed cloth to Him, all good fortune would be his. The washerman became angry and told Krishna he should be careful or He would be punished by the king’s men for asking for the clothing which is meant for the king. On hearing this, Lord Krishna became very angry at the washerman, and striking him with the upper portion of His hand, He separated the man’s head from his body. Krishna and Balarama then took what clothes they wanted, and put them on.

They then went to a florist named Sudama, who made two exquisite garlands for them. Lord Krishna then gave him benedictions for whatever he wanted and offered him all material opulence, family prosperity, long duration of life, and whatever else his heart desired within the material world.

Next they met Kubja, the hunchback women, who was carrying a dish of sandalwood pulp for the king. She said, “The king is very pleased with me for supplying this nice thing, but now I see that there is no one who can better be served by this pulp of sandalwood than You two brothers.” She then began to smear the pulp of sandalwood over Their bodies with great satisfaction and devotion. Lord Krishna then pressed the feet of the hunchbacked women with His toes and capturing her cheeks with His fingers gave her a jerk in order to make her straight.

Krishna then went to the place where the sacrifice called Dhanur-yajna was taking place. To designate this particular sacrifice Kamsa had placed a big bow near the sacrificial altar. Krishna went and took the big bow. After stringing the bow, He drew it and broke it at the middle into two parts. The caretaker of the bow ordered his men to kill Krishna. Krishna and Balarama then picked up the two pieces of the bow and killed all these men, plus another small group of troops sent to assist the caretaker.

The next morning Krishna killed the elephant Kuvalayapida, who tried to block His path on the way to the wrestling match.
