 | | , Kamsa is the son of a demon demon or demoness is a supernatural being that is generally described as a malevolent spirit, but is also depicted as a force that may be conjured and insecurely controlled. | | | Kamsa then killed six of their sons; the seventh, Balarama, escaped death by transferring to the womb of another woman. | | | He was told that one of Devaki's sons would kill him, so he murdered the first six. |

| | Kamsa comes to know that in his previous birth he was demon Kalanemi, killed by Vishnu. | | | But Narada Muni informs Kamsa that there is an imminent birth of gods in the family of Vasudeva and Nanda and that he should not trust any one. | | | Kamsa assuming that the gods must have already been born in the Yadava families, puts his sister and Vasudeva in jail. |

| | Organized Religion |
| | King Kamsa [the demon king who wanted to kill Lord Krishna] is the typical empiricist, ever on the lookout for the appearance of the truth for the purpose of suppressing Him before He has time to develop. | | | Kamsa is strongly persuaded that faith in the transcendental can be effectively put down by empiricism if prompt and decisive measures are adopted at the very outset. | | | King Kamsa knows very well that if the faith in the transcendental is once allowed to grow it is sure to upset all his empiric prospects. |

| | Krishna Book Chapter 4: Kamsa Begins His Persecutions |
| | Kamsa was waiting to hear the news of the child's birth, and the gatekeepers immediately approached him and informed him that the child was born. | | | The adherents of Kamsa were all influenced by the modes of passion as well as illusioned by the modes of ignorance, and their only business was to create enmity with saintly persons. | | | Thus being advised by the demoniac ministers, Kamsa, who was from the very beginning the greatest rascal, decided to persecute the brahmanas and Vaisnavas, being entrapped by the shackles of all-devouring, eternal time. |

| | Stories of Lord Krishna |
| | Kamsa, the child abuser who torments Devaki and Vasudev (Krishna's parents), was known as Devaki's brother, but that was just a simple way of describing the relationship. | | | Another telling detail to consider is that the first six sons of Devaki (killed by Kamsa), known as the Sad-gandarba, were also the first six sons of Hiranyakashipu (the older brothers of Prahlada in the gurukula). | | | In that sense, one could argue that due to the curse of Lord Brahma, it was their karma to be demons, or to be killed by Kamsa. |

| | At Kamsa's bidding, a female demon named Putana who was devouring children, a demon Sakata who had taken the form of a cart and another who took the form of a whirlwind, Trinavarta, stole into the Gokula to make away with Krishna; but the wonder-child did away with all of them instead. | | | They added: "Sages in penance, performers of sacrifices, cows, Brahmans, Vedas, truth, self-control, quietude, faith, compassion, forbearance -- these are Hari's visible forms; wherever these are, we shall destroy them; thereby Hari can be effectively harmed." Kamsa approved of their plan to begin a campaign of opposition to all that Hari stood for. | | | Kamsa also deposed and imprisoned his father Ugrasena and made himself King of the Yadus, Bhojas and Surasenas. |
