तां वीक्ष्य कसः प्रभयाजितान्तरां 
  विरोचयन्तीं भवनं शुचिसिताम् । 
  आहेष मे प्राणहरो हरिर्गुहां 
  भ्रुवं श्रितो यन्न पुरेयमीदृशी ॥२०॥
tām vīkṣya kaṁsaḥ prabhayājitāntarām 
  virocayantīm bhavanam śuci-smitām 
  āhaiṣa me prāṇa-haro harir guhām 
  dhruvam śrito yan na pureyam īdṛśī
tām—her (Devakī); vīkṣya—after seeing; kaṁsaḥ—her brother Kaṁsa; prabhayā—with the enhancement of her beauty and influence; ajita-antarām—because of keeping Ajita, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu, within herself; virocayantīm—illuminating; bhavanam—the whole atmosphere of the house; śuci-smitām—smiling and brilliant; āha—said to himself; eṣaḥ—this (Supreme Person); me—my; prāṇa-haraḥ—who will kill me; hariḥ—Lord Viṣṇu; guhām—within the womb of Devakī; dhruvam—certainly; śritaḥ—has taken shelter; yat—because; na—was not; purā—formerly; iyam—Devakī; īdṛśī—like this.
TRANSLATION
Because the Supreme Personality of Godhead was within her womb, Devakī illuminated the entire atmosphere in the place where she was confined. Seeing her jubilant, pure and smiling, Kaṁsa thought, “The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu, who is now within her, will kill me. Devakī has never before looked so brilliant and jubilant.”
PURPORT
The Lord says in  Bhagavad-gītā  (4.7):
yadā yadā hi dharmasya 
  glānir bhavati bhārata
