WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

Just see how much suffering I have caused My offenseless parents! Because of Me their sons were killed and they themselves imprisoned.

PURPORT

Because Kaṁsa had heard a prophecy that the eighth son of Devakī would kill him, he tried to kill all her children. For the same reason, he imprisoned her and her husband, Vasudeva.
