The evil minded Kansa who had caught hold of Devaki by her hair did not let her go even after Vasudeva pleaded with him for a long time; finally he released her only after Vasudeva promised to give the children who would be born to him; , he was satisfied and went home. . As promised by Vasudeva, Thy first brother was duly given to him but Kamsa did not kill the child out of love. Oh Lord ! It is really strange that even the cruel-hearted are sometimes overcome with mercy.
