He, therefore, killed all the sons of Devaki who were born before Krishna but Krishna escaped the danger of childslaughter by his maternal uncle because He was transferred to the house of Nanda Maharaj Lord Krishna's foster father. Kunti Devi was also saved from a series of dangers along with her children. But Kunti Devi was shown more favor because Lord Krishna did not save the other children of Devaki while He saved the children of Kunti Devi. This was done because Devaki's husband Vasudeva was there living but Kunti Devi was a widow and there was none to help her except Krishna. The conclusion is Krishna endows more favor to a devotee who is in greater dangers of helplessness. Sometimes He puts His pure devotees in such dangers because in that condition of helplessness the devotee becomes more attached to the Lord. The more the attachment is there for the Lord the more success is there for the devotee. #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"##p class="mw-empty-elt"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXT_23"#TEXT 23#/span##/h4# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#yathā hṛṣīkeśa khalena devakī#/dd# #dd#kaṁsena ruddhāticiraṁ śucārpitā#/dd# #dd#vimocitāhaṁ ca sahātmajā vibho#/dd# #dd#tvayaiva nāthena muhur vipad-gaṇāt#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=yathā&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#yathā#/i# — as it were;

He killed all the sons of Devakī who were born before Kṛṣṇa, but Kṛṣṇa escaped the danger of child-slaughter because He was transferred to the house of Nanda Mahārāja, Lord Kṛṣṇa's foster father. Kuntīdevī, along with her children, was also saved from a series of dangers. But Kuntīdevī was shown far more favor because Lord Kṛṣṇa did not save the other children of Devakī whereas He saved the children of Kuntīdevī. This was done because Devakī's husband, Vasudeva, was living whereas Kuntīdevī was a widow and there was none to help her except Kṛṣṇa. The conclusion is that Kṛṣṇa endows more favor to a devotee who is in greater dangers. Sometimes He puts His pure devotees in such dangers because in that condition of helplessness the devotee becomes more attached to the Lord. The more the attachment is there for the Lord, the more success is there for the devotee. #/div# #/div#
