Kubja

(“hunchback”) In the mythology of the
god Krishna, Kubja is a hunchbacked
woman whom Krishna meets while
journeying to the city of Mathura to
reclaim his kingdom. Kubja carries a jar
of expensive salve that is meant for the
king, but when Krishna asks her for
some, she willingly gives it to him. As a
reward for her generosity and devotion,
Krishna straightens her spine, turning
her into a gorgeous young woman.
