and simultaneously descend upon Mathurā, Vṛndāvana, Ayodhyā and other places. He does not need to descend, since He is already present there; He simply manifests Himself.
Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī has addressed Mahārāja Parīkṣit as  tāta , or “beloved son.” This is due to parental love in the heart of Śukadeva Gosvāmī. Because Kṛṣṇa was soon coming as the son of Vasudeva and Devakī, out of parental affection Śukadeva Gosvāmī addressed Mahārāja Parīkṣit as  tāta , “my dear son.”
In the  Viśva-kośa  dictionary, the word  garbha  is explained:  garbho bhrūṇe arbhake kukṣāv ity ādi . When Kaṁsa was about to kill Devakī, Vasudeva wanted to dissuade him by the diplomacy of  sāma  and  bheda .  Sāma  means “pacifying.” Vasudeva wanted to pacify Kaṁsa by indicating relations, gain, welfare, identity and glorification. Reference to these five concerns constitutes  sāma , and Vasudeva’s presentation of fear in two situations—in this life and the next—is called  bheda . Thus Vasudeva used both  sāma  and  bheda  to pacify Kaṁsa. Praising Kaṁsa’s qualifications was glorification, and praising him as a descendant of the  bhoja-vaṁśa  appealed to  sambandha , relationship. Speaking of “your sister” was an appeal to identity. Speaking about killing a woman raises questions about fame and welfare, and arousing fear of the sinful act of killing one’s sister during her marriage ceremony is an aspect of  bheda . The Bhoja dynasty refers to those who were simply interested in sense gratification and were therefore not very aristocratic. Another meaning of  bhoja  is “fighting.” These were indications of defamation for Kaṁsa. When Vasudeva addressed Kaṁsa as  dīna-vatsala , this was excessive praise. Kaṁsa would accept calves as a form of revenue from his poor constituents, and therefore he was called  dīna-vatsala . Vasudeva knew very well that he could not by force rescue Devakī from the imminent danger. Devakī was actually the daughter of Kaṁsa’s uncle, and therefore she is described as  suhṛt , meaning “relative.” It is stated that Kaṁsa refrained from killing his close relation Devakī because if he had killed her, a great fight would have ensued among the other members of the family. Kaṁsa refrained from provoking this great danger of a family fight, for it would have caused many persons to lose their lives.
Formerly an  asura  named Kālanemi had six sons, named Haṁsa, Suvikrama, Krātha, Damana, Ripurmardana and Krodhahantā. They
