And the god took form of a newborn child. The child started crying. Now both of them were worried, Kansa will hear the crying sound of baby and will come there to kill him. But to their surprise, Kansa went into deep sleep. Even the guards got unconscious, doors of the prison opened automatically. Vasudev thought it was a sign of god to get out from there. He asked Devaki to wrap the child in some cloth and give it to him. She was still crying as it was her eighth child and she will not be able to see him again. But Vasudev explained her that this child will remain alive and if the almighty permits, they will be able to see him again for sure.
After a deep conversation, she became ready to give the child to Vasudev. Vasudev took the child and started walking out of the prison. He was still chanting Lords name as he still feared of Kansa to come there, but he didn't. As he came out of palace, he was surprised to see each and every person, including guards and all servants were in deep sleep. He went out. It was still raining heavily. Still he managed to reach Yamuna River. Once he crossed the river, he would be reaching Gokul. But how to cross the river as the river was too much flooded.
He didn't understood the fact that Even Yamuna was excited to see the Lord and touch his feet as he was carrying Him in his hand. Vasudev was worried, the child will flow away due to huge pressure of water. He started looking for something in which he can keep the child and he found a wooden basket. He kept the child in it, held the basket over his head and started walking through the river. Yamuna was still flooding heavily, which was actually she was trying to touch the child's feet. God in the form of child understood her wish and took his left leg out of the basket and Yamuna touched her feet. As soon as she touched the feet, she made a way out for Vasudev.
Finally Vasudev reached Gokul. He rushed to Nanda's house. Everyone were in deep sleep. Yashoda was unconscious and she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. As per Lords order, Vasudev kept the child in the place of the baby girl and took the girl in the basket and went back. Once he reached prison, all the doors were shut, Guards and other servants got awake and heard the crying sound of the baby girl. Guards went to Kansa to convey this message. He rushed to the prison. He was surprised to see girl child, as it was prophesied that it would be boy. Even Vasudev said, she is our child. Kansa was confused, but fearing of his death, he picked the girl child, and went to kill her by hitting her on the stone, but he missed her. She was indeed Yogmaya again. She appeared in her full form and in her angry voice she said, You Fool!! you tried to kill me. You cant even touch me. I am Yogmaya. And now listen!! Your enemy the eighth child of Devaki and Vasudev is safe at Gokul and he will surely kill you one day.
Saying this, she disappeared. Kansa was now completely terrified hearing about his death. He was also angry and surprised about how did he missed that child. This was completely a Game played by Lord, but poor Kansa couldn't do anything to save his life. Vasudev then explained Devaki what happened with him, the child and the baby girl and all the situation he faced while all this process. Devaki was sad, but was happy for her child as he was now residing somewhere and ........ Alive.
