Sri Krishna incarnating in Mathura

Mathura: Sri Krishna incarnating in the prison of Kamsa:

(Srimad Bhagavatam - Skanda 10 - 3)

• Meditation: I meditate on Sri Krishna incarnating in the prison of Kamsa as the eighth son of Vasudeva and Devaki at night when it was very dark.

• Sri Krishna incarnating: Sri Krishna appeared before Vasudeva and Devaki in the divine form of Vishnu with four arms and reminded them of their penances in the previous births to obtain him as their son (first as prajapati Sutapa and Prishni, second as sage Kashyapa and Aditi, and third this time). Sri Krishna instructed Vasudeva and Devaki to constantly think of Him as the Supreme Brahman. Sri Krishna then assumed the form of a child.
