Kṛṣṇa appears in the Mahābhārata as Arjuna’s charioteer and teacher of the Bhagavad Gītā, and in the Purāṇas as the playful child and youth of Vraja, beloved of the cowherd women. Devotional movements, from the Bhāgavata Purāṇa to Caitanya, worship him as the supreme Lord and the object of ecstatic love.
