Bhagavatam 3.2.25 An unseen voice warned King Kamsa that the eighth child of the woman with him would kill him, and he later named Vasudeva and Devaki's eighth child as his destined killer. Bhagavatam 10.1.34, 10.1.60 Krishna took birth from Devaki and was brought to Gokula, hidden in the house of King Nanda. Bhagavatam 10.43.24 Kunti, mother of the Pandavas, tells Krishna he freed his mother Devaki, long imprisoned and distressed by Kamsa. Bhagavatam 1.8.23
