A poor, contented Brahmin who had studied with Krishna under Sandipani goes to Dwaraka at his wife's urging, carrying four handfuls of flattened rice begged from neighbours. Krishna embraces him, seats him on his own couch, washes his feet while Rukmini fans him, and recalls the night they were lost gathering firewood. Krishna takes the rice from him and eats a handful; Rukmini stops the second. The Brahmin leaves without asking for anything and returns to find his hut become a palace, which he enjoys without attachment.

The Asura Pralamba joins the cowherd boys' game disguised as one of them, loses to Balarama and has to carry him, and runs off with him growing huge; in the Vishnu Purana Krishna reminds Balarama of his own nature, in the Bhagavata he remembers alone; he kills the demon.
Balarama, teacher of the mace to both Bhima and Duryodhana, refuses to fight in the Kurukshetra war and goes on pilgrimage; he returns for the final duel, and when Bhima strikes below the navel he rushes at him with his plough until Krishna holds him back, then leaves for Dwaraka. In the Bhagavata he tries to stop the duel and fails.
King Yadu meets a young wandering sage who is happy and fearless, and asks who taught him; the sage names twenty-four teachers, the earth, the wind, a pigeon, a python, a moth, a courtesan named Pingala, a girl's bangles and a spider among them; tradition calls him Dattatreya.
The boy Krishna leaps into the Yamuna pool poisoned by the serpent Kaliya, is bound in his coils while Vrindavan weeps on the bank, then dances on his hoods until the serpent's wives beg for his life, and sends him back to the sea.
Twice a year, at the end of the Painkuni and Alpassi festivals, the images of Padmanabhaswamy, Narasimha and Krishna are carried from the temple to the sea at Shanghumugham, across the runway of Thiruvananthapuram's international airport, which closes for the evening.
In Jayadeva's Gita Govinda Radha, finding Krishna dancing with others in spring, withdraws in jealous grief until her friend carries messages between them and Krishna, repentant, begs her to set her foot on his head; the devotional legend says Jayadeva dared not write that line and Krishna came and wrote it himself.
Vrishabhanu finds a baby girl on a lotus in the Yamuna at Raval; she keeps her eyes shut until the infant Krishna is brought before her; the Brahma Vaivarta Purana adds that she came from Krishna's own left side in Goloka and was born on earth through a curse.
Krishna, now in Mathura, sends Uddhava to console the women of Vraja with talk of the formless god; one of them, speaking to a bee, mocks the messenger; the Bhagavata never names her but commentators and poets made her Radha, and Surdas's Bhramar Geet turns the scene into the gopis' refusal of Uddhava's teaching.
