Bhishma Recounts the Portentous Birth of Shishupala

Bhishma tells the assembly about the monstrous birth of Shishupala, the king of Chedi. The child had three eyes and four arms, and a divine voice prophesied that only the man on whose lap the extra limbs vanished would be his slayer. When the infant is finally placed on Krishna's lap, the prophecy is fulfilled, and his mother secures a fateful boon.

Shishupala's Birth, Prophecy, and Krishna's Boon

A child is born with three eyes and four arms, terrifying his parents. A divine voice declares that the man who causes the extra limbs to fall will be the child's slayer. When Krishna is revealed as that man, the child's mother secures a promise that he will pardon a hundred of her son's future offences.
