== Anecdotes ==
In one instance in Hindu text, when demons failed to kill Krishna, [[Kamsa|Kansa]] thought to kill him by inviting him to [[Mathura]]. On reaching Mathura, Krishna met with one of Kansa's washermen, requesting a few dresses for his friends who have accompanied him. The soldier on learning that it is Krishna who is in front of him and that he is Kansa's undeclared enemy, tried to kill Krishna assuming he will be rewarded. Looking at the soldier's failed attempt and Krishna's strength, the crowd accumulated in market poured with slogans on Krishna and such as Jai Shri Krishna, along with [[Balarama |Jai Shri Balarama]] and [[Vasudeva|Jai Shri Vasudev]], hence glorifying Krishna's brother and father respectively.<ref name="Soni">{{cite book|author=Dr. Krishna Murari Soni|title=Lord Krishna and his Leadership|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4co4CgAAQBAJ&pg=PT23|publisher=Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd|isbn=978-93-5083-051-2|page=23}}</ref>
