According to the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna is termed Svayam Bhagavan. As stated in the Bhagavata MahaPurana, the Supreme God Parabrahman Adi Narayana (Vishnu) appeared before Vasudeva and Devaki in his divine original four armed form before taking birth as Krishna. Vasudeva and Devaki, after praising Vishnu, requested him to hide his divine form which Vishnu agreed to do,transforming himself into a baby, Krishna. According to this account, Krishna never took birth from the womb of his mother like a common baby.
