Bhagawatham-10.06-Madhura Leela-1

KAMSA VADHAM

"Paritranaya Sadhunam,Vinasaya cha Dushkrutham,
Dharma Samsthapanarthaya,Sambhavami Yuge Yuge"

Krishna-Balarama's Madhuragamanam was preceded by the Divya Darshanam given to Akrura in the Yamuna River which he richly deserved as the Bhaktha living alongside the Asura like Kamsa always in the thoughts of the Lord. How blessed Akrura is , like him we too live amongst the Asuras of this Yuga-in minds and deeds- and if we do bhakthi to the Lord we too surely can get the Divya Darshan one day. All the people in Madhurapuri eagerly and affectionately welcomed Krishna and His Gopas . The washerman showed displeasure and got what he deserved from Krishna and all the Gopas wore the Washerman's royal clothes,the Taylor amde the alterations to the Gopa dressed as required and got the blessings of God. Then Trivakra named Lady who prepares sandalwood paste for the king offered the sandalwood paste to Krishna and with His blessing became very beautiful lady-those who offer Hari Chandanam to the God everyday ...surely to get His blessings and will become the most beautiful persons in this world.Then Krishna and Balarama went to Dhanuryaga sala -they were actually invited to take part in this Dhanur yaga by Kamsa. But Krishna took the Bow in His hands and brokt it very easily. This breaking of Dhanus is a bad omen for the Yaga kartha-Kamsa and he started shivering by the news.He sends the Kuvalayapeedam - the elphant with 1000 elephant's strength. Krishna and Balarama kill the elephant and then proceed to the Darbar of Kamsa Here the people of Madhura could not believe their eyes on the sight of Krishna...."Pibanta eva chakshurbyam lihanta eva jihwaya I, jigranta eva nasabyam shlishyanta eva bahubi: II".....then the two wrestlers Chanuran and Mushtikan come to wrestle with Krishna and Balarama. Krishna easily disposses Chanura and Balarama did the same to Mushtikan. And then Krishna makes the jump to the thron of Kamsa and brings him down by pulling his hair. And with couple of hard blows Krishna takes the life out of Kamsa giving him the Moksham.

Krishna releases His parents, Vasudeva and Devaki, from the Jail and gets the blessings of them.After the Kamsa vadham , Krishna releases Kamsa's father Ugrasena frm the confinement and makes him the King of Madhurapuri.
