Reading Notes: Epified: Krishna Part A

Kamsa’s rage seems similar to Duryodhana’s with them trying to kill innocent people who have threaten their throne in some way. Obviously the two stories are linked, which may be a reason for this. If Vasudev was so sure that nothing on Earth could harm his son, why was he worried when Kamsa came for his son? If nothing comes to light with the seventh son, I might make a story with him coming back.

The serpent protecting Vasudev and Krishna shows how much power that the gods have given Krishna as he is a powerful incarnation. Why did Putana want to kill Krishna? There could be a backstory there. Rather how did Kamsa gain control of demons? Could do a Game of Thrones thing where Krishna is a Dany, who is exiled but has immense power. Kamsa is on the Iron Throne as Robert Baratheon who sends assassins (demons) to kill Krishna/Dany. It is interesting that Krishna is never seeking to kill these demons but he is simply protecting himself. Radha drinking the scalding milk is similar to Sita walking into the fire for Rama.
