The following is from the Krishna Upanisad of Atharva Veda.

 

During the time of incarnation of the Lord as Krishna, Gokula became the forest heaven. Those who had done penance earlier became trees in that forest.. Characters like miserliness and anger became Asuras. The Kali period which was coming was postponed till the incarnation period was over. That Hari who was very pretty incarnated himself as a Gopa Boy. His playful nature (play with the world) was an unknowable secret. Because of that the world was enchanted. Upanishads and portions of Vedas came in the form of 16108 maidens. The "mercy" was born as mother Rohini and the "earth mother" was born as Sathya Bhama. "Humility" was born as Krishna's friend Sudhama. "Control of senses" was born as Sage Udhawa and "Truth" was born as Sage Akroora. The broken curd pots became to Krishna the ocean of milk so that he can play with it. This incarnation was meant to destroy his enemies and to protect good people. The sword in the hand of Krishna was the God of destruction, Maheswara

himself. Sage Kasyapa was born as the mortar in Yasodha’s house and The God mother Adithi became the rope which tied Krishna to the mortar. Kali who destroys all enemies was the mace. The bow called Saranga was the illusion of the Lord. The harvest season of Sarad became the meals in his house. The lotus he held playfully was the seed for the world. Though the world was not different from all these, it appeared as if it was different. Similarly God himself did not have any differences. And the Vaikunta of those people who live in spiritual world was brought down to this material world. The people who have understood this truly would get the result of their good deeds. They would get themselves released from the ties of the body and attain salvation."
