Krṣṇa,  the Supreme Personality of Godhead
because a person who torments an innocent person must be punished by the laws of nature. We know that Lord Krṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is the supreme master of everything and the supreme enjoyer of everything, and therefore anyone who neglects His authority can never be happy, and ultimately, as you have, he meets death.”
Since Krṣṇa was kind and affectionate to His aunts, He began to give them solace as far as was possible. The ritualistic ceremonies after death were then conducted under the personal supervision of Krṣṇa because He happened to be the nephew of all the dead princes. After finishing this business, Krṣṇa and Balarāma immediately released Their father and mother, Vasudeva and Devakī who had been imprisoned by Kamsa. Krṣṇa and Balarāma fell at Their parents’ feet and offered them prayers. Vasudeva and Devakī had suffered so much trouble because Krṣṇa was their son; it was because of Krṣṇa that Kamsa was always giving them trouble. Devakī and Vasudeva were fully conscious of Krṣṇa’s exalted position as the Supreme Personality of Godhead; therefore, although Krṣṇa touched their feet and offered obeisances and prayers to them, they did not embrace Him, but simply stood up to hear the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Although Krṣṇa was born as their son, Vasudeva and Devakī were always conscious of His position.
Thus ends the Bhaktivedānta purport of the Forty-third Chapter of Krṣṇa, “The Killing of Kamsa.”
