News about this peculiar child spread far and wide and many kings visited him. Damaghoṣa placed the child on the lap of each of them. But, no physical change occurred to him. Then one day Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Balabhadra came to see the child, whose mother Śrutaśravas (she was also the sister of Kṛṣṇa's father) placed him on Kṛṣṇa's lap. Immediately two hands and the third eye of the child vanished, and with tears in her eyes the mother prayed Kṛṣṇa never to kill Śiśupāla, and Kṛṣṇa promised that he would forgive the crimes of Śiśupāla a hundred times. (Sabhā Parva, Chapter 43).
