Text 30] The Birth of Lord Krgna 245

TRANSLATION

O Madhusidana, because of Your appearance, I am becoming
more and more anxious in fear of Karnsa. Therefore, please ar-
range for that sinful Karnsa to be unable to understand that You
have taken birth from my womb.

PURPORT

Devaki addressed the Supreme Personality of Godhead as Madhu-
siidana. She was aware that the Lord had killed many demons like
Madhu who were hundreds and thousands of times more powerful than
Karnsa, yet because of affection for the transcendental child, she believed
that Karnsa could kill Him. Instead of thinking of the unlimited power of
the Lord, she thought of the Lord with affection, and therefore she re-
quested the transcendental child to disappear.
