It is about Dwapar Yuga, once the sins on earth increased a lot. All the gods were worried. They went to lord Vishnu with their problem.
Lord Vishnu listened to Them and assured them, "Don't worry, I will come to earth in human form and will liberate it from sins. Before my incarnation, Kashyap Muni will be born in the Yadukul of Mathura and will be famous as Vasudev. From the womb of his second wife, my vehicle Sheshnag will be born as Balram and from the womb of his first wife Devaki, I will be born as 'Krishna'. In the battlefield of Kurukshetra. I will kill the sinful Kshatriyas and free the earth from the burden of sins."
That time also came soon. Mathura was ruled by King Ugrasen of the Yayati dynasty. Kansa was the eldest of the sons of King Ugrasen. Devki was born to him. Thus, Devaki was born as Kansa's cousin. Here, sage Kashyap was born as Vasudev, the son of King Shursen. Later, Devaki was married to Vasudev.
Kans loved Devaki a lot. But once a prophecy was heard from the sky, "Devaki's eighth son will be your death.Your death is certain at his hands." From that day onwards, Kansa was determined to kill Devaki.
This incident caused uproar everywhere . Many warriors agreed to support Vasudev. But Vasudev did not want war. He assured Kansa that "As soon as any child of Devaki is born, I will hand him over to you."
