Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 28

Sanskrit:

या: कृष्णरामजन्मर्क्षे मनोदत्ता महामति: ।ताश्चाददादनुस्मृत्य कंसेनाधर्मतो हृता: ॥ २८ ॥

ITRANS:

yāḥ kṛṣṇa-rāma-janmarkṣemano-dattā mahā-matiḥtāś cādadād anusmṛtyakaṁsenādharmato hṛtāḥ

Translation:

The magnanimous Vasudeva then remembered the cows he had mentally given away on the occasion of Kṛṣṇa’s and Balarāma’s birth. Kaṁsa had stolen those cows, and Vasudeva now recovered them and gave them away in charity also.

Purport:

At the time of Kṛṣṇa’s appearance, Vasudeva had been imprisoned by Kaṁsa, who had stolen all his cows. Still, Vasudeva had been so jubilant at the birth of the Lord that he had mentally donated ten thousand of his cows to the brāhmaṇas. Now, upon Kaṁsa’s death, Vasudeva took back all his cows from the late King’s herd and gave ten thousand of them, according to religious principles, to the worthy brāhmaṇas.
