Painting depicting Krishna taking His birth in the palace of King Kamsa. Krishna did not appear like an ordinary child. Krishna appeared in his 4 armed Narayana form complete with beautiful clothes and jewelry. Krishna's mother, Devaki, prayed to Him, "Kamsa is looking for you to kill you and now you have appeared here like this in your form of Visnu. Please therefore take the form of an ordinary baby and in that way perhaps we can hide you from King Kamsa.
