Why Did Krishna Wait for the 100th Insult? | The Vow He Made to a Mother
<p>Fall asleep to the complete story of Shishupala — the king who insulted Krishna 100 times, and what happened when he reached the limit.</p><p>Shishupala was born with three eyes and an extra arm. The prophecy came immediately: the man who would one day kill him was already in the room. Krishna was present. His mother begged Krishna to forgive her son's wrongs — up to 100 times.
