the river yamuna is connected to the religious beliefs surrounding krishna and various stories of the two are found in hindu religious texts, especially the puranas. one such story is "kaliya daman" about the subduing of kaliya, a "nāga" which had inhabited the river and terrorised the people of braja. yamuna, according to the legends, is closely related to lord krishna and mahabharata. krishna was taken across the yamuna on the night of his birth. krishna's maternal uncle kansa had planned to kill all his nephews, as his eighth nephew was predicted to be his kāla. when vasudeva, carrying krishna in a basket, reached the river yamuna, on the stormy night of krishna's birth, yamuna is said to have parted to make way for vasudeva. krishna and the gopis also used to play on the banks of the yamunaji as children.
