An example of\u00a0atihasita\u00a0was manifested in the following incident.<\/span><\/p>\n

Krishna once addressed Jarati\u00a0thus:<\/span><\/p>\n

“My dear good woman, the skin of your face is now slackened, and so your face exactly resembles a monkey’s. As such, the King of the monkeys, Balimukha, has selected you as his worthy wife.”<\/span><\/p>\n

While Krishna was teasing Jarati\u00a0in this way, she replied that she was certainly aware of the fact that the King of the monkeys was trying to marry her, but she had already taken shelter of Krishna, the killer of many powerful demons, and therefore she had already decided to marry Krishna instead of the King of the monkeys.<\/span><\/p>\n
