# 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.’
