“Among the texts of the Mahā-bhārata,” says Dr. Muir, “there are some in which Krishna is distinctly subordinated to Mahā-deva (Siva), of whom he is exhibited as a worshipper, and from whom, as well as from his wife Umā, he is stated to have received a variety of boons. Even in these passages, however, a superhuman character is ascribed to Krishna.”
