# Baby Krishna’s Appearance
At the most auspicious moment, in an atmosphere surcharged with goodness, peace and beauty, Sri Krishna, in His four-handed form, appeared in the prison house, causing great wonder to Vasudeva and Devaki. They offered choice prayers and beseeched the Lord to conceal His four-handed form and appear as an ordinary child. Though overjoyed, they were simultaneously anxious about Kamsa’s next move.
The Lord glorified Vasudeva and Devaki, explaining that He had been their son in two previous lives. Krishna then transformed into His original human form. By divine arrangement, Vasudeva mystically escaped the prison and travelled to Gokula, where he exchanged Krishna with the daughter born of Yasoda (Yogamaya). He then returned to the prison house with his ‘newborn daughter.’

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://bhagavata.keshavaswami.com/canto-10-part-1/b.a.b.y/b-birth-1-5/baby-krishnas-appearance.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
