the latter had eight sons of whom the eighth was Kṛishṇa;
Kaṇsa, king of Mathurā andﾠ cousin of Devakī, was informed by a prediction that one of these sons would kill him;
he therefore kept Vasu-deva andﾠ his wife in confinement, andﾠ slew their first six children;
the seventh was Balarāma who was saved by being abstracted from the womb of Devakī andﾠ transferred to that of Rohiṇī;
the eighth was Kṛishṇa who was born with black skin andﾠ a peculiar mark on his breast;
his father Vasu-deva managed to escape from Mathurā with the child, andﾠ favoured by the gods found a herdsman named Nanda whose wife Yaṡo-dā had just been delivered of a son which Vasu-deva conveyed to Devakī after substituting his own in its place
Nanda with his wife Yaṡo-dā took the infant Kṛishṇa andﾠ settled first in Gokula orﾠ Vraja, andﾠ afterwards in Vṛindāvana, where Kṛishṇa andﾠ Bala-rāma grew up together, roaming in the woods andﾠ joining in the sports of the herdsmen's sons;
Kṛishṇa as a youth contested the sovereignty of Indra, andﾠ was victorious over that god, who descended from heaven to praise Kṛishṇa, andﾠ made him lord over the cattle Hariv. 3787 ff.; 7456 ff. VP. ;
