Vasudeva and Devakī Glorify Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma; The Recovery of Devakī’s Six Sons from Sutala
तेनासुरीमगन् योनिमधुनावद्यकर्मणा । हिरण्यकशिपोर्जाता नीतास्ते योगमायया ॥ ४८ ॥ देवक्या उदरे जाता राजन् कंसविहिंसिता: । सा तान् शोचत्यात्मजान् स्वांस्त इमेऽध्यासतेऽन्तिके ॥ ४९ ॥
tenāsurīm agan yonim adhunāvadya-karmaṇā hiraṇyakaśipor jātā nītās te yoga-māyayā
その不適切な行為のために、彼らはただちに阿修羅の胎に堕ち、ヒラニヤカシプの子として生まれた。ついでヨーガ・マーヤーが彼らをそこから連れ去り、デーヴァキーの胎から再び生まれさせた。王よ、その後カンサが彼らを殺した。デーヴァキーはいまも彼らを我が子と思って嘆いている。まさにそのマリーチの息子たちが、いま君の近くでここに住んでいる。
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.

Act responsibly and dharmically, while trusting that outcomes and life-situations unfold under higher order; focus on devotion and right action rather than resentment.
