TRANSLATION

O mother Devaki, by your good fortune and ours, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead Himself, with all His plenary portions,
such as Baladeva, is now within your womb. Therefore you need
not fear Karnsa, who has decided to be killed by the Lord. Your
eternal son, Krsna, will be the protector of the entire Yadu
dynasty.

PURPORT

The words parah pum4an amsena signify that Krsna is the original
Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the verdict of the sdstra (krsnas
tu bhagavan svayam). Thus the demigods assured Devaki, ‘Your son is
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and He is appearing with Baladeva,
His plenary portion. He will give you all protection and kill Karnsa, who

has decided to continue his enmity toward the Lord and thus be killed by
Him.”
