O son of Bhrigu [Saunaka], when the child Parikshit, the great fighter, was in the womb of his mother, Uttara, and was suffering from the burning heat of thebrahmastra [thrown by Asvatthama], he could observe the Supreme Lord coming to him.
He [the Lord] was only thumb high, but He was all transcendental. He had a very beautiful, blackish, infallible body, and He wore a dress of lightning yellow and a helmet of blazing gold. Thus He was seen by the child.
The Lord was enriched with four hands, earrings of molten gold and eyes blood red with fury. As He loitered about, His club constantly encircled Him like a shooting star.
The Lord was thus engaged in vanquishing the radiation of the brahmastra, just as the sun evaporates a drop of dew. He was observed by the child, who thought about who He was.
We first made some Baker's Clay.
Then we gathered all the items we need for the first part of the project.
We read the verses a few times, taking special note of Lord Krishna's / Vishnu's appearance.
Then we baked the Baker's Clay.
The second part of the project involved painting. A few other children in the neighborhood came to help.
Finally, time to set everything up.
Hari Hari!!!
