Hinduism

After Kamsa's wrestlers expressed their determination, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the killer of Madhu, confronted Canura, and Lord Balarama, the son of Rohini, confronted Mustika. Krishna and Canura and then Balarama and Mustika locked themselves hand to hand, leg to leg. The fighting increased as they pushed one another from one place to another. One captured another and threw him down on the ground, and another rushed from the back to the front of another and tried to overcome him with a hold. The fighting increased step by step. All the arts of wrestling were perfectly exhibited by the parties, as each tried his best to defeat his opponent."

Kamsa was prepared for Krishna's attack, for he knew from the beginning that He was to be the supreme cause of his death. He immediately unsheathed his sword and prepared to answer the challenge of Krishna with sword and shield. As Kamsa wielded his sword up and down, hither and thither, Lord Krishna, the supreme powerful Lord, caught hold of him with great force. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the shelter of the complete creation and from whose lotus navel the whole creation is manifested, immediately knocked the crown from the head of Kamsa and grabbed his long hair in His hand. He then dragged Kamsa from his seat to the wrestling dais and threw him down. Then Krishna straddled his chest and began to strike him over and over again. Simply from the strokes of His fist, Kamsa lost his vital force."

"At the end of the millennium, ignorance personified assumed the form of a demon, stole all the Vedas and took them down to the planet of Rasatala. The Supreme Lord, however, in His form of Hayagriva [the horse-headed] retrieved the Vedas and returned them to Lord Brahma when he begged for them. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Lord, whose determination never fails." (Srimad-Bhagavatam 5.18.6) Although Vedic knowledge is imperishable,within this material world it is sometimes manifest and sometimes not. When the people of this material world become too absorbed in ignorance, it disappears. Lord Hayagriva or Lord Matsya, however, always protects the Vedic knowledge, and in due course of time it is again distributed through the medium of Lord Brahma"

"When the great sages saw the Lord as the brahmacari-dwarf Vamana, they were very pleased. Thus they placed before them Kasyapa Muni and performed all the ritualistic ceremonies. At the sacred thread ceremony Brhaspati offered the sacred thread and Kasyapa Muni offered a straw belt. Mother earth gave Him a deerskin, and the demigod of the moon gave Him the rod of a brahmacari. His mother gave Him cloth for underwear, and the deity of the heavenly kingdom offered Him an umbrella. Lord Brahma offered a waterpot, the seven sages offered Him kusa grass, and mother Sarasvati gave Him Rudraksa beads.When Vamanadeva had thus been given the sacred thread, Kuvera gave Him a pot for begging alms, and mother Bhagavati gave Him His first alms." (Srimad-Bhagavatam 8.18.13-17)

"One day a fruit vendor approached Nanda Maharaja's house, and Krishna gathered some food grains with His little palms and went to the vendor to exchange the grains for fruit. On the way, almost all the grains fell from His palms, only one or two grains remaining, but the fruit vendor, out of full affection, accepted these grains in exchange for as much fruit as Krishna could take. As soon as she did this, her basket became filled with gold and jewels." (Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.11)
