Page 2 - Krishn |
Krishn in Gokul Now Kans got the information that Devakee was again pregnant. Kans waited for this day very impatiently. That was the 8th day of Krishn Paksh of Bhaadrapad month. Sun was of Ucchch in Sinh (Leo) sign in His Lagn House (Ascendant) and Moon was also of Uchch. As soon as the eighth son of Devakee, Bhagvaan Himself, was born, an Aakaashvaanee said - "Take this boy across Yamunaa, leave Him at your friend Nand Raay's house and bring his daughter." Vasudev and Devakee got surprised to hear this and thought as how they would take Him out of the prison because the prison was very well guarded and their chamber was inside seven locked chambers of the prison. But to their surprise, all gatekeepers slept, locks got unlocked, doors got opened and Vasudev's hand and leg cuffs were also unlocked. Vasudev found himself completely free to go anywhere at that moment. So Devakee kept the baby in a Soop and Vasudev took Him to Gokul across Yamunaa keeping that Soop on his head. It was midnight, very dark, and heavily raining. Thunder storms were coming and Yamunaa River was flooding with waters. Vasudev was going towards Gokul. Shesh Naag came to protect Bhagvaan from rains. He spread His heads on Bhagvaan and thus saved Him from getting wet. Yamunaa's water was rising to touch the feet of Bhagvaan. When Vasudev was about to lose his balance in water, Bhagvaan lowered His leg and Yamunaa water greeted Him by touching His big toe. Then the water got subsided and Yamunaa gave way to Vasudev to go to Gokul. He arrived in Gokul and at Nand Jee's house. His house's doors were also open. Yashodaa was sleeping in a room, Nand was also sleeping in the same room. Vasudev kept his son beside Yashodaa, took her newborn daughter and came back to prison as soon as possible. As he came back. all the doors of prison got locked behind him. His hand and feet cuffs were locked again. Then the guards woke up and heard the cry of the child. Immediately they went to inform about Devakee's eighth child's birth. Kans came there rushing to kill Him. As he saw the child, he took her from Devakee's lap and threw her on a stone to kill Him. But what is this? The child didn't go down, but got out of his hands and flew up in the sky. From there she said - "O Kans, I am not your killer, your killer has already been born." Hearing this Kans got surprised as well as worried. Then he knew that he did not kill the son but it was a girl. Kans got very angry at Vasudev and Devakee and asked several times that where was their eighth son, where did they hide it, but they couldn't answer any of his questions. At last he came back to his palace beating his feet on ground.
