I am the teacher of the Yadus, and I am known everywhere on earth. If a son of yours is given the rites by me, he will be taken for Devaki's son. Kamsa is of a sinful mind, and he knows the friendship between you and Anakadundubhi, and that the eighth child of Devaki could not rightly have been a girl. Turning that over, and having heard what Devaki's girl said, he may even kill him, suspecting he has come; and then that would be our undoing.
