Krishn Frees His Parents

Since Krishn killed Kans, Krishn became the king of Mathuraa naturally, but He knew His duties. First He went to the prison where His parents were kept. He met them first time. He wanted to cut their handcuffs, feet cuffs, chains etc but they said that "first Raajaa Ugrasen should be freed, because he was the real and original Raajaa of Mathuraa, although Kans put him in prison and declared himself the king of Mathuraa, still he was the king. And then on his order we should be freed."

So Krishn went to His Naanaa Ugrasen and freed him first and requested him to free His parents. Ugrasen said - "Practically you are the king of this kingdom because you have killed Kans and won this kingdom, so you do whatever you like." But Krishn politely said - "You have the first right on this kingdom, so please free my parents." Ugrasen got very happy with Krishn's behavior and he himself cut the chains of Devakee and Vasudev. Ugrasen became Raajaa and Devakee and Vasudev went to their own kingdom.

Devakee asked her little son - "Krishn, I am surprised as how did you kill Kans like Raajaa?" Krishn said - "You already knew this why do you get surprised and ask me this?"

Nand Jee came to see and handover Vasudev's son Krishn to His real parents and to see his friend. Krishn said - "Baabaa, I will also go with you. All will be waiting for me there in Gokul." Nand said - "No Kaanhaa, Now you will live here only. They are your parents. They had waited for you so many years." And he went away with tear-filled eyes.

Since Krishn was now grown enough to be educated so both, Krishn and Balraam, were sent to Ujjayinee to be educated by Muni Saandeepan Jee.

As Nand Jee came home, Yashodaa asked - "Where is my Kaanhaa? I am sure Devakee must have not allowed Him to come here. If I had been His real mother, she could not have stopped Him like that." Nand consoled her - "You should be proud of yourself, that who takes care of the whole Universe, you have taken care of Him. Whoever brings up the child is more important than whoever gives birth to him. If you had not taught Him walking, then how could He go to Mathuraa?"
