Kamsa kills Devaki’s children, one by one.

Awaiting his angel of death, the eighth son.

In Devaki’s womb, Vishnu to appear,

Kamsa’s reign of terror to disappear.

Finally, mother gives birth to a beautiful boy,

Bluish in hue, to parents gives wonderful joy.

A brilliant light emerging, form of Vishnu was shown,

That their new son was God did Krishna make known.

Lord Vishnu was there, He of world renown,

Honored were the parents, their heads bowed down.

Shri Vishnu, appearing in child-like guise,

To secure evil Kamsa’s demise.

For protecting Vasudeva and his wife,

I honor Shri Krishna, the Lord of my life.
