Sri Krishna killing Kamsa: Sri Krishna killed Kamsa after killing the wrestlers in the wrestling arena. After killing the wrestlers of Kamsa, Sri Krishna jumped up the royal dais where Kamsa was sitting, dragged him down to the wrestling arena and thereafter killed him. He then killed the younger brothers of Kamsa who attacked Him. Finally He released Devaki and Vasudeva from imprisonment and offered them respects. Devaki and Vasudeva stood with joining palms knowing Krishna to be the Lord. Sri Krishna then made Ugrasena, his maternal grandfather, the king of the Yadus. He brought back the close family members who fled out of the fear of Kamsa. He also made Nanda Maharaj return back to Vraja.
