Chapter 12 – Death of Kamsa

Kamsa thought of many ways to kill Krishna but all in vain. So Narad Muni came to Kamsa and told him to invite Krishna and Balarama to his palace and kill them both there itself. Kamsa agreed and sent Akrurar, Kamsa’s loyal minister to bring them. Krishna and Balarama also agreed to come. When they arrived at Mathura, Qualapeedam – Kamsa’s royal elephant was blocking the entrance to Kamsa’s palace ready to kill them both. But at last they killed the elephant.

They then entered the palace where they saw many people around and Kamsa on the throne. Kamsa told them to fight with Chanura and Mushtika, the powerful wrestlers of Mathura. After a long fight, Krishna and Balarama killed Chanura and Mushtika.

Kamsa then ordered his soldiers to kill Krishna’s parents – Devaki and Vasudeva. But Krishna pounced on him and killed him.

He then revealed his true form of Lord Vishnu.

Then Krishna released Ukrasena and made him the King of Mathura. He released his parents who were overjoyed to see their sons – Balarama and Krishna for the first time.

Balarama & Krishna shifted their kingdom to Dwaraka. After this, many incidents took place showing Krishna’s divine powers.
