What the texts say

In the Bhagavata Purana, Vasudeva, son of King Shura, is the father of Krishna, and was also called Anakadundubhi because the devas sounded kettledrums at his birth. Bhagavatam 9.24.28, 9.24.53 He married Devaki, whom the same text names chief among his wives. Bhagavatam 10.1.29, 9.24.45 Their eighth son, Krishna, was born in Vasudeva's prison house. Bhagavatam 3.2.16, 9.24.53 Vasudeva laid the child on the bed of Yashoda, a cowherd's wife, and took her daughter back to the prison. Bhagavatam 10.3.51 Kamsa, Devaki's brother, then released Vasudeva and Devaki from their shackles and spoke humbly to them. Bhagavatam 10.4.14
