Even in these passages, however, a superhuman character is ascribed to Krishna.” - [Previous: c5.901](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.901) - [Next: c5.903](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.903) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5) ## Linked texts (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.902](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.902) · Pramāṇa
