12 Devaki too was overwhelmed with joy to see extra-brilliance of her
son V膩sudeva. Because of the fear from Kamsa, the child K峁涐梗峁嘺 was
brought to Nandagopa at Gokula. 13 Lord K峁涐梗峁嘺 even as a young lad,
started exhibiting His supernatural powers. Sportively young K峁涐梗峁嘺
destroyed all wicked demons sent by Kamsa to kill him. 14 K峁涐梗峁嘺 made the
Gopis joyous in V峁沶d膩vanam.
Having planned to kill Balar膩ma and K峁涐梗峁嘺, Kamsa invited them for
a festival of bow. Accordingly, there started fist-fight. Being commanded
by Kamsa, C膩峁嚺玶a and Mu峁ａ弓ika were to fight against Balar膩ma and
Krsna. At the end, both the fist - fighters were easily killed by the latter. 1
16 K峁涐梗峁嘺 killed Ka峁僺a. K膩lanemi, hiding within Kamsa, went to hell
(and the good soul i.e. Bh峁沢u gained higher region). Lord K峁涐梗峁嘺 cut
asunder the bondage of imprisonment of Vasudeva and Devaki, who then
expressed their joy to see their son. Then, king Ugrasena was crowned
on throne as the lord of Yadavas by K峁涐梗峁嘺.17
