Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 29


Sanskrit:

श्रीनन्द उवाचअहो ते देवकीपुत्रा: कंसेन बहवो हता: ।एकावशिष्टावरजा कन्या सापि दिवं गता ॥ २९ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-nanda uvācaaho te devakī-putrāḥkaṁsena bahavo hatāḥekāvaśiṣṭāvarajākanyā sāpi divaṁ gatā

Translation:

Nanda Mahārāja said: Alas, King Kaṁsa killed so many of your children, born of Devakī. And your one daughter, the youngest child of all, entered the heavenly planets.

Purport:

When Vasudeva understood from Nanda Mahārāja that the mystery of Kṛṣṇa’s birth and His having been exchanged with Yaśodā’s daughter was yet undisclosed, he was happy that things were going on nicely. By saying that Vasudeva’s daughter, his youngest child, had gone to the heavenly planets, Nanda Mahārāja indicated that he did not know that this daughter was born of Yaśodā and that Vasudeva had exchanged her with Kṛṣṇa. Thus the doubts of Vasudeva were dispelled.
