Legend


According to popular belief, when the assassins he had dispatched failed to kill Krishna, Kamsa thought to kill him by inviting him to Mathura. On reaching Mathura, Krishna met with one of Kamsa'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 Kamsa'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 such as Jai Shri Krishna, along with Jai Shri Balarama and Jai Shri Vasudev, hence glorifying Krishna's brother and father respectively.
