According to Hindu mythology; the evil King Kamsa once sent his friend and ally; Keshi; to kill Krishna. Keshi had great powers; and he turned himself into a great and terrible horse. He galloped into the village of Vrindavan; his hooves thundering and his mane and tail flying. Everyone was terrified.

Krishna met him. Keshi at once recognized Krishna; and galloped full speed straight toward Him; intending to trample Him. Krishna; however; grabbed Keshi's legs and threw the great horse a hundred yards. Keshi landed with a terrible thud; and was unconscious for a few moments; but he regained consciousness and got up to attack again.

This time he galloped toward Krishna with his mouth wide open and teeth bared; but Krishna shoved His fist deep into that mouth and flipped Keshi onto the ground. Krishna's fist felt to Keshi like hot iron; and all his teeth fell out. Krishna swelled up His hand in Keshi's mouth until it choked Keshi; and the great horse died. Pictures From History
