Jai Sriman Narayana !!
There were Yadavas, the descendants of King Yadu lived in the
Kingdom of Yadavas that was ruled by the King Sura. Later the Kingdom of Yadavas was divided
into two Mathura and Surasena. King Sura had two sons Ugrasena and
Devaka, Ugrasena became the King of
Mathura and he had a son Kamsa. Devaka had a daughter named Devaki.
The King Sura had a noble son Vasudeva. Kamsa was very fond of Devaki, as
he was no sister of his own. A marriage was arranged between Devaki and
Vaudeva. The marriage took place in a grand manner, the bride and bridegroom
prepared to bid farewell. The grand marriage procession began Kamsa
who was too affectionate to Devaki was the charioteer followed by hundred
golden chariots, four hundred elephants and a huge army of warriors to follow
the bride and bridegroom. Kamsa was deeply disappointed at the
separation of his sister Devaki. The chariot of Vasudeva and Devaki moved
through the streets in a classy manner, Kamsa as a charioteer.
Suddenly, a mysterious voice from the sky
broke out, and it captured the attention of everyone. All the sounds of
drum beat and joy of happiness has stopped. The mysterious voice declared
‘ Kamsa, You are a real fool. The eighth child born to Devaki and
Vasudeva would be the one to take away your life’.
At this, Kamsa lost his real sense. He
was screaming alarmingly at the sky looking around for the owner of the voice.
He madly got out of chariot with the fear of death. He was bewildered and
the affection that was all through his eyes where vanished. His eyes
turned out cruel and terrifying, he approached his sister Devaki, caught her in
her hair and dragged out of the chariot without any mercy. Vasudeva
shocked at the turn of events, followed Kamsa begging to leave his newly wedded
wife. Kamsa roared at Devaki and raised his sword to kill her.
Vasudeva fallen at the feet of Kamsa and begged him to leave her.
Vasudeva promised Kamsa that the child born to them would be presented before
Kamsa immediately after its birth. Kamsa agreed to the conditions put
forwarded by Vasudeva. Thus, a beautiful marriage ceremony turned into a
terrible nightmare, eventually a journey to prison for the newlyweds.
