Summary

Here, Krishna is both a playful child and a substitute for Vishnu. In a vision, a sage saw Krishna lying on a banyan leaf upon the cosmic ocean, recalling the reclining Vishnu in the span between world periods. Bronzes such as this would be grouped with other images in a family shrine, where they would receive daily worship.
