About the Publisher
The stories in this Panchratna volume are all
based on the Bhagwat Purana. Balarama, Krishna's
elder brother, shared almost all the antics,
adventures and deeds of glory of Krishna in
childhood. Some episodes from his childhood and
the tale of his wedding are narrated in the first
Amar Chitra Katha in this volume. The story of
Sudama, a great devotee and childhood friend of
Lord Krishna, has retained its popularity with
children down the ages. The love of Krishna for
Sudama forms the theme of many a devotional song
and this story has been a source of sustenance of
faith to the poor. The third story in this volume
is about Shishupala, the jilted suitor of Rukmini.
He never missed an opportunity to slight Krishna.
Krishna had promised his aunt, Shishupala's mother
that he would forgive hundred mistakes of her son.
It was when he crossed this limit that Krishna
thought it fit to punish him. The fourth story in
this volume is about Paundraka Vaasudeva who
believed that he was equal to Krishna. Several
times he tried to challenge Krishna, but met with
disgrace and disaster. The fifth story is about
the son of Pradyumna and the grandson of Krishna.
Usha, the daughter of an Asura named Bana, sees
him in a dream and becomes anxious to know if
there is such a person. What follows is a story
full of adventure and suspense.
