chapter 1: Kansa's Fear and the Prophecy
Kansa was the cruel king of Mathura.
During the wedding of his sister Devaki to Vasudeva, a heavenly voice announced:
"O Kansa! Devaki's eighth child will be the cause of your death."
Terrified and furious, Kansa tried to kill Devaki immediately. Vasudeva stopped him and begged for mercy. Kansa spared her life but imprisoned Devaki and Vasudeva, deciding to kill every child born to them.
Chapter 2: The Killing of the Children
Inside the prison, Devaki gave birth to children one by one.
Kansa mercilessly killed the first six babies.
The seventh child, Balarama, was saved by divine power. By Lord Vishnu's will, he was transferred to Rohini's womb.
Kansa believed the seventh child had died.
Now, everyone waited in fear for the eighth child.
Chapter 3: The Divine Birth of Krishna
At midnight, Lord Krishna was born in the prison of Mathura.
He appeared in a divine form with four arms, holding a conch, discus, mace, and lotus.
He spoke gently to his parents:
"Do not be afraid. Take me to Gokul immediately."
Chapter 4: The Miracles of the Night
Suddenly, miracles happened:
:The prison doors opened on their own
:The guards fell into deep sleep
:Vasudeva's chains broke
Vasudeva carried baby Krishna on his head and walked toward Gokul.
The river Yamuna parted, lowering its waters, and Sheshnag appeared above Krishna like an umbrella, protecting him from the rain.
Chapter 5: The Baby Exchange and Kansa's Failure
In Gokul, Yashoda had just given birth to a baby girl.
Vasudeva placed Krishna there and brought the baby girl back to Mathura.
When Kansa tried to kill the baby, she rose into the sky and said:
"O Kansa! The one destined to kill you is already growing safely in Gokul."
Kansa was shocked and filled with fear.
