Krishna kills Kamsa his uncle.

King Vasudeva and his wife Devaki were happily ruling Mathura with the help of Kamsa, Vasudeva's  brother-in-law. Kamsa was the brother of Devaki. Once when Vasudeva was going with his wife and driven the chariot by kamsa then a voice from the heaven said ‘Kamsa you are are going to be killed by the eighth male child of Vasudeva.”

Listening to this Kamsa got annoyed and angry and immediately put Vasudeva and Devaki into prison, in chains  and took the reins of the country. Guards were posted to see that they did not move away from there. He initially thought of killing them both but Vasudeva prayed to him to leave them to live as only their eight child could kill them and have pardon on them.

Vasudeva and Devaki were in jail and Devaki delivered her first child. Kamsa came to know of this and came to the prison and took the baby by its legs and hit it on the floor and it died instantly.

Devaki delivered again and this baby also was killed by Kamsa.It happened till  the seventh child was delivered.

When Devaki delivered her eight child, which was a male one, at night all guards were sleeping and the child immediately after its birth told Vasudeva to take it to Gokulam and place it near the side of   Yasodha the wife of Nanda, the chief of the Cowheads or Yadavas  and bring the baby born to her and place it near  Devaki so that Kamsa would think that it was the eighth child of Vasudeva.

Vasudeva could break his chains and took the new born baby in rain and crossed river Yamuna which separated and gave him way. A snake Anandhan gave cover and protection to the basket from the top so that rain water did not fall on the baby in the basket  in which the eighth child was being taken to Gokulam.

Vasudeva went to Nanda’s house where Yasodha had delivered a female baby and was sleeping and everybody were in deep sleep. Vasudeva placed his baby near Yasodha and took the female baby of Yasodha and came back to prison and this time also river Yamuna gave him way. He placed the new born baby girl near his wife Devaki and went to sleep.

In the morning the guards awoke from their slumber and found a new born baby  and informed Kamsa who came to the prison to kill the baby. He took the legs of the baby and was about to hit it on the floor when the baby came off his hold and went up in the air and said “Kamsa you are going to be killed by Krishna who is in Gokulam” and vanished.

Worried Kamsa tried to kill Krishna, the baby born to Vasudeva and Devaki which was christened as Krishna and brought up by Nanda and his wife Yasodha thinking that the baby was their own.

Kamsa made many attempts to kill the baby Krishna  by sending an Asura as a woman who gave milk to the baby and the baby sucked all the blood of the Asura  and killed it.

Then Kamsa sent some killers to kill the Child and they were also killed by the child Krishna.

An Ox was sent to kill him and that ox also was killed. And finally Krishna came to his uncles palace and fought and killed him.
