Muchukund

Branched from Kaalyavan

Muchukund was a king. Once he helped Devtaa in a fight with Asur. After he defeated Asur, Devtaa got very happy with him and asked him to ask for any Var. He said - "I wish to have Darshan of Vishnu in His Chaturbhuj (with four hands) form." Devtaa said - "You will have it, but it will take some time. When Krishn will take Avataar on Prithvi in Dwaapar Yug, then He will give Darshan to you." Muchukund said - "Indeed it is long time for it, until then what should I do?" Devtaa said - "Till then you may go in the cave and sleep there peacefully. We also give you Var that if somebody will awake you he will get burned at your one look." Muchukund went to the cave and slept there. So when Kaalyavan came and kicked him, as soon as he looked at him in anger, he got burned to ashes.

Krishn knew this that is why He brought Kaalyavan in that cave.
