Kamsa Ghatita Durgam Tvam

(1) O Lord Krishna, I offer respectful obeisances unto You. When Kamsa attempted to violently kill Durga-devi, she told him that You had already been born. Kamsa became amazed, and he released Your father, mother and relatives (from the prison). (2) O Krishna, Kamsa, his mind purified by constantly remembering You with fear, became enlightened, and he spoke transcendental knowledge to Your mother and father and thus pacified them. (3) O Lord Krishna, trapped in the verbal network of bad advice form his demonic ministers, Kamsa agreed to a very wicked plan. Kamsa transgressed the desires of the saintly devotees, and in this way it appeared that his life was soon to end.
