Narayaneeyam
Dashaka 39
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Then awakened by the sound of crying of Thy younger sister, the host of attendents ran fast to inform Kansa of the child's birth. Sticken with fear, Kansa, with dishevelled hair, hastily reached the spot and was surprised and confused to see a baby girl in his sister's arms.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Kansa dcided that certainly this was a trick of the decietful Vishnu that this girl was born. He pulled the infant away from his sister who had held her close in her arms, just as an elephant would pluck out a tender lotus stalk from a pond of lotus, and dashed her, Thy younger sister, the birthless one, on a block of stone. |
