Krishnalila Scenes
These base blocks depict various episodes from Krishna's life. On the left after the monster mask, Krishna is shown breaking the arjuna trees and thus freeing Nalakuvera and Manigriva (sons of Kuvera) who were cursed by Narada to be trapped there. Next Krishna is shown breaking the wheels of a cart under which he had been placed, and killing the demon Sakatasura who was concealed in it. In the next panel Krishna and Balarama are shown killing the demon Vatsasura who had taken the guise of a calf and concealed himself in their herd. The last block probably shows Krishna killing Kesin, the horse demon.
