Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 48-49


Sanskrit:

तेनासुरीमगन् योनिमधुनावद्यकर्मणा ।हिरण्यकशिपोर्जाता नीतास्ते योगमायया ॥ ४८ ॥देवक्या उदरे जाता राजन् कंसविहिंसिता: ।सा तान् शोचत्यात्मजान् स्वांस्त इमेऽध्यासतेऽन्तिके ॥ ४९ ॥

ITRANS:

tenāsurīm agan yonimadhunāvadya-karmaṇāhiraṇyakaśipor jātānītās te yoga-māyayā

Translation:

Because of that improper act, they immediately entered a demoniac form of life, and thus they took birth as sons of Hiraṇyakaśipu. The goddess Yoga-māyā then took them away from Hiraṇyakaśipu, and they were born again from Devakī’s womb. After this, O King, Kaṁsa murdered them. Devakī still laments for them, thinking of them as her sons. These same sons of Marīci are now living here with you.

Purport:

Ācāryas Śrīdhara Svāmī and Viśvanātha Cakravartī explain that after taking Marīci’s six sons from Hiraṇyakaśipu, Lord Kṛṣṇa’s Yoga-māyā first made them pass through one more life as children of another great demon, Kālanemi, and then she finally transferred them to the womb of Devakī.
