280 Krsna, 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 Krsna 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 Krsna 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 Krsna because He
happened to be the nephew of all the dead princes. After finishing this
business, Krsna and Balarama immediately released Their father and
mother, Vasudeva and Devaki who had been imprisoned by Kamsa. Krsna
and Balarama fell at Their parents’ feet and offered them prayers. Vasudeva
and Devaki had suffered so much trouble because Krsna was their son; it
was because of Krsna that Kamsa was always giving them trouble. Devaki
and Vasudeva were fully conscious of Krsna’s exalted position as the
Supreme Personality of Godhead; therefore, although Krsna 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 Krsna was born as their son, Vasudeva and Devaki were always
conscious of His position.

Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Forty-third Chapter of
Krsna, “The Killing of Kariisa.”
