Then Devaki pleaded with Kansa and said that," I will hand over my child to you by bringing myself, your brother-in-law is innocent, what will be the benefit of killing him." Kansa obeyed Devaki and put Vasudeva and Devaki in the jail of Mathura.
After some time in the prison, Devaki and Vasudev got a child. As soon as Kansa came to know about this, he came to the prison and killed that child. Similarly, Kansa killed seven sons of Devaki and Vasudeva one by one. When it was the turn of the eighth child, the guard in the prison was doubled. Many soldiers were stationed in the prison.
After the birth of the eighth son, suddenly there was light in the cell where Devaki and Vasudeva were imprisoned. Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of a quadrilateral holding a mace and a conch in his hand. Devaki and Vasudeva fell at his feet.Lord Vishnu said to them," I have taken birth from your womb".
To save Vasudev j the infant Shri Krishna in the soup. Crossing the raging Yamuna, he reached Nanda's house in Gokul. After putting the child to sleep, they came back with their daughter. After reaching back the gate automatically closed.
As soon as Kansa got the news that Devaki had given birth to a child, he immediately came to the prison. As soon as Kansa snatched her and tried to kill her, the girl immediately flew into the air and said – O evil creature, what will you get by killing me, the one who killed you has reached Vrindavan.

Mad elephant was left behind them, its trunk was cut off and it was put to death. After this,Lord krishna was called to court where he was challenged for the Malla yudh or wrestling, then one by one all the masters of Kansa went to death.
Seeing the anger of Lord Krishna and Balarama, the entire army of Kansa ran away like cowards. Although in arrogance, Kansa took out his sword to strike Lord Krishna, and on the other hand Lord Krishna was standing in front of him unarmed. Just as Kansa used a sword to save himself and to injure Lord Krishna, Lord Krishna threw Kansa on the ground by grabbing his hair.
Before Kansa could understand anything, he could get up and attack Lord Krishna again, Lord Krishna climbed on his chest and after seeing Kansa's life flew away.
