In the field of Kalpa, a woman arrived and cast a child into the waters of the Kālindī river. Soon after, a man named Sāmanta found the child and took him to his father-in-law’s house. This event occurred on the auspicious eighth day of the dark fortnight of Bhādra, when the Brāhmaṇa and Kṣatra stars were conjoined, marking a moment of celestial significance. The child possessed a dark, radiant body, his eyes like lotuses, and his brilliance resembled that of a precious indranīla gem. His mother, upon seeing him, was filled with astonishment at the wondrous sight. She wondered at the marvel before her: “What is this rising, what marvel has occurred—a form of the gods, resembling the sun?” From the heavens, a voice declared, “A portion of Krishna has been born upon the earth, bestowing joy upon all.” Hearing these words, the family was overcome with supreme delight. The child was dark-complexioned, beautiful, and marked with all auspicious signs. News of his birth filled the entire city with joy. In that same time, Brāhmī gave birth to a son, a portion of the divine attendants, who possessed great strength. Brāhmaṇas arrived and performed the birth rites for these children. As time passed, the children grew, bringing auspiciousness to all the worlds. When the third year arrived, Krishna’s portion grew stronger. He played joyfully in the sandalwood forest with his brothers, amidst the presence of the divine horse Ashvini, the deer, and near the famed Uccaiḥśravas. After a year, another son was born—a dove, auspicious in form. A brāhmaṇa named Shivaśarman also took birth, skilled in all branches of knowledge. When Krishna’s portion reached his eighth year, the naming and other rites were performed. Sūta continued: When Krishna’s portion reached his ninth year, he became even stronger and excelled in dharmaśāstra, the science of righteousness. He sent his own army for conquest to the great city. There, his messengers addressed King Parimala, descendant of the lunar dynasty, saying, “They take one-sixth as tax and give it to our king. From today onward, if anyone gives tax to that king, it will not be accepted. Those kings who have joined the side of Jayachandra do so out of fear of him.” Hearing these words, King Parimala approached the great-souled ruler, bringing wealth amounting to one million. Then, a hundred thousand heroes arrived at Kanyakubja. The messengers declared, “King Prithviraja, the great king, desires tribute from you. At present, there are many feudatory chiefs in my land.” Having spoken thus, King Parimala angrily took up the Vaishnava weapon against them. But when the great king heard this, he became greatly afraid. Various wrestlers arrived, honored by the king. The son of the lord of the earth, strong and sixteen years of age, bowed to his maternal uncle, Abhaya, who was mighty. The expert in battle, with affection, spoke to his sister’s son: “How can you, who are like a thunderbolt, be compared to this son, so tender?” Hearing this, the king, his uncle, remembered as the lord of the earth, said, “Listen, O king, to the reason how I came to know about the child.” Thus, the story unfolds, revealing the divine birth, growth, and rise of Krishna’s portion, his auspicious signs, and the events that led to his recognition and the shifting powers among the kings.
