When the marriage ceremony was over Devaki's brother Kansa, in wishing to honour the couple ;he became their charioteer and took to the road in the chariot. Rising from the sky Thy voice said, "You who are very wicked will be killed by her eighth son." Alas! Thus spoken, out of great fear, he then drew his sword to kill the Devaki, who was sitting nearby.
