Beren (Or Jura)

in the mythology of India, was the hunter who killed Krishna without being aware of it; for the god, sleeping under a tree, had forgotten to cover up the bright signs of his divinity on the soles of his feet, and thus Jura, aiming at this mark, robbed Vishnu, in the highest incarnation, of his life.
