Not on view

The evil king Kamsa, Krishna's nemesis, hatches yet another plan to kill the child-god and his brother. He sends Akrura to invite the boys to a function at his palace and plans to have them killed as they enter the city. Akrura, however, is a devotee of Krishna's. He falls at the god's feet and informs Krishna's adopted parents, Nanda and Yashoda, of Kamsa's plot.
