Sri Balarama incarnating in Mathura
Mathura: Sri Balarama incarnating in the prison of Kamsa:
(Srimad Bhagavatam - Skanda 10 - 2)

•
Meditation: I meditate on
Sri Balarama incarnating in the prison of Kamsa as seventh son of Vasudeva and Devaki.
•
Sri Balarama incarnating: Sri Balarama was transferred by Yogamaya on the instruction of the Lord from the womb of Devaki (at Mathura) to the womb of Rohini (at Gokula). Hence Balarama is known as Shankarshana. Rohini was the wife of Vasudeva living with Nanda in Gokula. When Balarama was transferred to the womb of Rohini, the womb of Devaki was lost (i.e. appeared to have a miscarriage).
